Nerve stimulation to protect vision after brain tumor surgery
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system, Cancer, Eyes & vision, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial tests a nerve stimulation treatment during surgery to remove certain brain tumors (like pituitary adenomas) to help prevent vision problems that can happen after the operation. It may help preserve your eyesight.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a tumor in the brain area behind the eyes, such as a pituitary adenoma or meningioma.
- You do not currently have any vision problems from the tumor.
- You are scheduled for surgery to remove the tumor through the nose or an open procedure.
- You have not had prior brain surgery or radiation therapy.
- You are generally healthy, without uncontrolled diabetes or severe heart disease.
- You are able to understand and agree to the study.

This study tests a new type of absorbable (dissolvable) support plate used during minimally invasive surgery to remove tumors in the pituitary gland area. The plate helps support the surgical site as it heals. Researchers want to see if this new plate works safely and effectively compared to standard approaches.
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 a new technology that uses a head-mounted mixed reality display to help doctors perform neuroendoscopic surgery (a type of minimally invasive brain surgery) to remove tumors in deep brain areas. It could help make the surgery more precise and improve your recovery.
This study tests whether real-time monitoring of brain activity during surgery helps surgeons remove brain tumors more safely while preserving important functions like speech and movement.
This study tests a non-invasive way to monitor pressure inside the skull during brain tumor surgery. It may help guide treatment without the need for invasive monitors.
