Brain stimulation and memory training for glioma patients
Part of Cancer, Mental health clinical trials.
This trial tests a combination of brain stimulation (rTMS) and cognitive strategy training to help improve memory and thinking in people with glioma. If you have a stable brain tumor and notice problems with focus or memory, you may be able to join.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 or older.
- You have been diagnosed with a glioma (a type of brain tumor) that is grade 2, 3, or 4.
- You have problems with memory, concentration, or thinking that affect your daily life.
- Your tumor is not located in the parietal lobe (the top part of the brain).
- You have no implanted medical devices or metal in your body, and you are not claustrophobic.
- Your tumor is stable — you haven't had cancer treatment in the last 2 months, and your MRI shows no new growth.

This trial studies how radiotherapy affects memory and thinking in adults with certain brain or skull-base tumors. It may help doctors understand who is most likely to have thinking changes and how to monitor or support patients.
This study tests whether combining brain stimulation with behavioral therapy before surgery can help surgeons remove more of a slow-growing brain tumor (low-grade glioma) while protecting movement and speech. It may help patients whose tumor is near the part of the brain that controls movement on one side.
This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique (called TMS) given before surgery can help the brain adapt and preserve movement function during surgery for a fast-growing brain tumor. It aims to reduce the risk of losing movement after surgery.
This study tests whether magnetic brain stimulation before and after surgery can help older adults with mild memory or thinking problems recover their thinking abilities faster. You would receive either real or sham stimulation for a few days around your surgery.
This trial tests whether repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS)—a non-invasive treatment that uses magnetic pulses to stimulate the brain—can help restore arm or leg movement in patients who have had weakness after brain tumor surgery. The goal is to see if this treatment is safe and effective for people recovering from surgery.
This study tests a remote program to help with memory and thinking problems caused by a grade 2 or 3 brain tumor. It is for people who have had surgery and are at least 6 months past any radiation or chemotherapy.
