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 uses a special MRI scan where you watch a movie to help doctors map important functions in your brain before surgery. The goal is to improve surgical planning and safety for patients with brain tumors.
This trial tests whether a special brain stimulation technique (nTMS) before surgery can help the brain reorganize around a tumor. It's for people with aggressive brain tumors near movement areas, who still have good strength.
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 trial uses a special MRI scan to study the genetics of gliomas (a type of brain tumor). It may help doctors better understand your tumor and choose the right treatment. You can join if you have a suspected or confirmed low- or high-grade glioma that still has a measurable tumor after surgery.
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.
