Optimizing brain monitoring during surgery
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial tests a way to improve how signals from the brain are monitored during surgery to protect important areas. It might help ensure the surgery is safer and more precise.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older and have a brain lesion (such as a tumor) that needs surgery.
- Your surgery will use a technique called MEP monitoring to protect nearby healthy brain tissue.
- You are not pregnant and do not have a reduced level of consciousness.
- You do not have weakness in your arm or leg on the same side as your brain lesion.
- You will not receive inhalational anesthesia (gas anesthesia) during surgery.
- You are able to have the monitoring electrodes placed on your body.

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 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 trial tests a new type of brain scanner (MEG) to help locate the exact area in the brain causing seizures in people with drug-resistant epilepsy. The goal is to improve planning for surgery to remove that area.
This study tests whether special monitoring during brain surgery can help surgeons remove tumors safely while protecting important brain functions like language and movement.
This study tests if a non-invasive device can help doctors give the right amount of fluids during planned brain surgery. The goal is to keep your blood flow stable and improve recovery.
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.
