Virtual reality for brain surgery planning and training
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study uses virtual reality to help doctors plan, practice, and explain brain surgeries. It may help you understand your procedure better and help your surgical team prepare.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a brain scan showing a problem inside your skull.
- You are able to give written permission, or someone legally can for you.
- You can understand and answer questions for the study.

This trial uses virtual reality to help you better understand your upcoming brain surgery, such as for an aneurysm, abnormal blood vessels, or a tumor. It aims to improve how information is given before surgery.
This study tests whether using virtual reality before awake brain surgery can make the experience less stressful. If you are having brain surgery while awake, this might help you feel more prepared and comfortable.
This study tests whether virtual reality (VR) brain exercises before surgery can help prevent confusion or disorientation (delirium) after surgery in older adults with small vessel disease in the brain. It may help you recover more clearly after your operation.
This pilot study tests whether a virtual reality (VR) headset can be used safely while you have certain types of surgery while you are awake or lightly sedated with local numbing. The goal is to see if VR can fit into surgery care for appropriate patients.
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 trial tests whether using virtual reality (VR) exercises after surgery can help older adults with small vessel disease (tiny blood vessel damage in the brain) recover their thinking and memory faster. It may help you think more clearly after your operation.
