Personalized brain mapping to protect movement during glioma surgery
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This study tests a personalized approach to map and protect the brain's movement pathways during surgery for slow-growing brain tumors. The goal is to remove as much tumor as possible while keeping your quality of life and movement abilities intact.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a slow-growing brain tumor called a lower-grade glioma, and it affects the areas that control movement.
- You are at least 18 years old.
- You are either scheduled for surgery to remove the tumor, or you have already had a partial surgery and may need a second one.
- You are able to understand and agree to take part in the study.
- You are able to follow the study's rules and appointments.

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 watching a movie during an MRI scan can help doctors map brain function more comfortably before surgery for a brain tumor (glioma). If you are already scheduled for a clinical fMRI, this extra scan might replace the need to do repetitive tasks during the scan.
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 looks at how brain tumors look on MRI and what biopsy tissue shows, using samples taken during planned surgery. It may help improve understanding of tumor biology and future treatment planning.
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.
This study is testing whether using a special brain-mapping technique during surgery helps people with recurrent glioblastoma. It compares standard surgery to surgery with mapping to see if it leads to better outcomes for tumors near important brain areas.
