Study brain changes after surgery in teens and young adults
Part of Brain & nervous system, Ear, nose & throat clinical trials.
This study looks at how a brain area involved in hearing and language contributes to recovery after medically needed surgery. It may help doctors better understand post-op outcomes using language and hearing-related brain measurements.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be between 13 and 25 years old
- Be scheduled for medically necessary surgery to remove a lesion in Heschl’s gyrus
- Speak and understand English only (monolingual English speaker)
- Have normal language skills for understanding and speaking (or within normal testing range)
- Have normal hearing in both ears (or corrected hearing) on a hearing test
- Have no history of autism or ADHD

This study tests whether a special MRI training session can help preserve your language abilities before brain surgery. It uses real-time feedback to strengthen the language network in your brain.
This study measures brain activity to understand how your brain combines what you see and hear during speech. It may help scientists build better ways to understand and treat problems with speech processing.
This study uses gentle electrical stimulation on the brain during awake surgery to understand how language works. It's for people having brain tumor removal or epilepsy monitoring who can speak English and do not have serious speech or thinking problems.
This study records how the hearing nerve responds to speech sounds during planned brain surgery. It aims to understand hearing loss better and may help improve future treatments.
This study uses tiny brain electrodes placed during surgery to better understand how a brain region helps with speech. The results may guide safer brain mapping during surgery for people with epilepsy or brain tumors.
This study tests an intensive pre-surgery speech rehabilitation program for people whose seizures come from the language-related area in the temporal part of the brain. The goal is to improve speech outcomes before planned epilepsy surgery.
