Brain tumor surgery patients using brain scan and mapping software
Part of Brain & nervous system, Cancer clinical trials.
This study checks a new computer software tool that helps doctors map important brain networks and how blood flow responds during brain scans. It may help improve planning and safety for people having brain tumor surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be 18 years or older
- Be scheduled to have surgery to remove a brain tumor
- Have an fMRI scan before surgery as part of usual care
- During surgical planning, expect direct cortical stimulation (a way doctors test brain areas) as standard care
- Be able to have MRI scans and give informed consent (or have consent done if required by the study rules)

This study uses a special microscope to study how brain tissues communicate and signal. It will look at brain tissue taken during surgery (from certain tumor or brain disease cases) to better understand brain wiring and improve reading of lab signals.
This study uses special recording sensors during brain tumor surgery to map the brain areas that control movement and speech. It may help the surgical team protect these key functions while removing the tumor.
This study uses a special MRI scan where you watch a movie to help doctors map important functions in your brain before surgery. The goal is to improve surgical planning and safety for patients with brain tumors.
This trial uses a brain connectivity map to help surgeons remove brain tumors while protecting areas that control language, movement, and thinking. It may be an option for people whose tumors are near important brain networks.
This trial uses advanced brain scans to create a detailed map of your brain's wiring before surgery. This helps surgeons remove more tumor safely while protecting important areas that control movement, language, and vision.
This study tests whether special monitoring during brain surgery can help surgeons remove tumors safely while protecting important brain functions like language and movement.
