Ultrasound-guided surgery for certain brain mass lesions
Part of Brain & nervous system, Cancer, Genetic & congenital, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are newly diagnosed with a brain tumor or certain bleeding/vascular problem (not from injury).
- The condition is in the upper part of the brain (supratentorial area).
- You are between 18 and 100 years old.
- Your blood pressure and circulation are stable right now.
- You have not had brain radiation treatment before.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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.
This study tests a method to help surgeons find and remove brain tumors that show up on MRI with contrast dye (often high-grade gliomas and brain metastases). If you newly have one of these tumors, the trial may help improve how completely tumors can be removed while protecting important brain areas.
This trial tests a new way to take a tiny tissue sample from a suspected glioblastoma using ultrasound, to improve noninvasive detection. You may be able to get this targeted sample while you’re already planning surgery for tumor removal.
This trial tests a non-invasive ultrasound device to help clear blood clots from the brain after a spontaneous bleed. It may be an option for people with small to medium-sized bleeds who do not need surgery.
This trial studies whether a special form of ultrasound through the skull can improve recovery after a spontaneous brain bleed that requires minimally invasive surgery. It may help by targeting the damaged brain tissue after evacuation, and the study will follow participants for up to a year.
This study checks whether a special, painless ultrasound technique can help measure a brain tumor during planned brain surgery. It may help doctors understand tumor location and behavior more accurately while you’re already in the operating room.
