Brain retraction monitoring during surgery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial monitors brain activity during surgery to see how using a retractor to hold brain tissue still might affect the brain. It may help surgeons understand how to protect the brain during these procedures.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 16 years old or older.
- You are having brain surgery where a retractor will be used to hold brain tissue still.
- You are able to give your own consent before the surgery.

This study records brain activity during awake surgery for people with glioma. It aims to better understand how the brain works around the tumor, which may help improve surgical safety.
This study tests a new minimally invasive device that helps doctors monitor brain activity during surgery for brain tumors or epilepsy. The device uses soft electrodes placed on the brain's surface to help surgeons work more safely and precisely.
This study tests a special brain-wave monitor (called processed EEG) during surgery to remove a brain tumor. The monitor helps the anesthesiologist keep you at the right level of sleep, which may improve safety and recovery.
This study uses a special brain-wave monitor during your surgery to see if it can predict confusion or memory problems afterward. It may help you and your doctors better understand your recovery.
This trial tests special cameras and sensors that check your brain without surgery. It may help doctors watch for brain swelling and other problems more safely.
This study uses special brain recordings done during electrode implantation to better understand brain activity in people whose symptoms are hard to control with medications. The goal is to help doctors improve how they evaluate and treat certain brain or nerve conditions.
