Measuring brain shift during surgery using navigation
Part of Brain & nervous system, Cancer, Genetic & congenital, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests whether a special brain-navigation method can better measure how the brain moves during surgery for certain brain conditions. If it works, it may help surgeons avoid mistakes caused by brain shifting while you are under anesthesia.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a brain condition being operated on, such as a brain tumor, cavernoma, arteriovenous malformation, or a brain bleed
- Your condition is located above the tentorium (the upper part of the brain, called supratentorial)
- The condition is newly diagnosed
- You are between 18 and 100 years old
- Your vital signs are stable during surgery (stable hemodynamics)
- The registration (matching) between your patient data and the navigation system is very accurate—error no more than 2 millimeters

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial looks at using real-time ultrasound to help surgeons remove or treat certain brain growths and bleeding areas. It may help by making the procedure more precise for newly diagnosed cases in the upper part of the brain.
This trial tests whether an “AR” (augmented reality) navigation system can help guide doctors during brain tumor or blood-vessel (cerebrovascular) surgery. If the system is accurate, it may help surgeons plan and position tools more safely.
This study tests a new way to guide brain surgery using a head-mounted mixed reality system, which helps the surgeon see the tumor and surrounding structures. It is for adults with certain brain tumors that have not been treated before.
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 study checks a monitoring approach during brain tumor surgery to help control blood flow and heart-related measurements. It may benefit you by making surgery safer and helping the team respond faster during the operation.
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.
