Testing an augmented reality navigation system for brain surgery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Cancer, Genetic & congenital, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests a new augmented reality (AR) navigation system that helps surgeons see your brain images overlaid on your head during surgery. It may help make brain tumor or blood vessel surgery more precise and safer.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years of age or older.
- You must have had an MRI or CT scan of your brain because of a brain tumor or a blood vessel problem (like an aneurysm).
- You must be having surgery that will use a navigation system to help the surgeon find the right spot.
- Your surgery should be planned, not an emergency, and you shouldn't have had major brain surgery before that changed the shape of your brain.

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 tests an augmented reality (AR) tool to help surgeons locate breast cancer tumors during breast-conserving surgery. You may join if you have a single, small invasive breast tumor and have not had chemotherapy before surgery.
This study tests a new technology that uses a head-mounted mixed reality display to help doctors perform neuroendoscopic surgery (a type of minimally invasive brain surgery) to remove tumors in deep brain areas. It could help make the surgery more precise and improve your recovery.
This trial tests whether using a special 3D mixed-reality viewer during planning for brain surgery helps doctors better prepare. If you are having a planned brain tumor removal, this technology may make the surgery safer and more precise.
This trial tests whether extended reality (XR) technology can help surgeons more precisely plan and perform bypass surgery for people with moyamoya disease or blocked carotid arteries. It may make the procedure safer and more effective.
This trial tests whether using augmented reality (AR) – a technology that overlays digital images onto the real world – during liver tumor surgery is safe and practical. It aims to help surgeons remove tumors more precisely, which could lead to better outcomes for you.
