Mixed reality headset guidance for brain tumor surgery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Cancer clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a suspected tumor in the pineal region or brainstem (deep parts of the brain).
- You are between 18 and 70 years old.
- You are generally healthy and able to do normal daily activities.
- This is your first time having this type of brain tumor, and you haven't had radiation therapy to the brain before.
- You don't have serious heart disease or another cancer elsewhere in your body.
- You are willing and able to participate in the study with your family's consent.

This trial tests whether using a special 3D mixed-reality viewer during planning for brain surgery helps doctors better prepare. If you are having a planned brain tumor removal, this technology may make the surgery safer and more precise.
This study tests a new augmented reality (AR) navigation system that helps surgeons see your brain images overlaid on your head during surgery. It may help make brain tumor or blood vessel surgery more precise and safer.
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 trial uses a brain connectivity map to help surgeons remove brain tumors while protecting areas that control language, movement, and thinking. It may be an option for people whose tumors are near important brain networks.
This trial uses advanced brain scans to create a detailed map of your brain's wiring before surgery. This helps surgeons remove more tumor safely while protecting important areas that control movement, language, and vision.
This study looks at how the brain may shift during surgery for certain brain tumors. The goal is to improve the accuracy of the navigation system so surgeons can remove tumors more precisely.
