Brain wave monitoring during brain tumor surgery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Cancer clinical trials.
This study tests a new way to monitor brain activity during surgery to remove brain tumors. It may help doctors better protect important brain functions during the operation.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are older than 18 years.
- You have a brain tumor that is likely a glioma or a metastasis, found on imaging.
- You are scheduled for surgery or a biopsy to remove or diagnose the tumor.
- You need to be able to have your brain waves monitored during the operation.
- You do not have a pacemaker or any other implanted electrical device.

This study tests whether using brain wave (EEG) monitoring during brain tumor surgery can help protect your thinking and memory. It might help you keep more of your cognitive function after surgery.
This study looks at brain wave recordings taken during awake brain surgery for diffuse glioma. The goal is to better understand and protect important brain functions during tumor removal. If you are already scheduled for awake brain surgery with ECoG monitoring, you may be able to take part.
This study tests whether a tiny probe can safely measure brain chemistry during and after brain surgery. It may help doctors better understand and treat brain conditions like tumors or epilepsy.
This trial is testing a new tool called the CIPHER System during brain surgery for people with a newly diagnosed glioma. It looks at how well the tool works and how safe it is when used during the procedure.
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 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.
