Camera measurement of brain color during neurosurgery
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests a camera that looks at your brain during surgery to check oxygen levels and natural or drug-induced colors. It could help doctors see brain tissue more clearly during your operation.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older.
- You are having brain surgery for a tumor, epilepsy, or a tangle of blood vessels in the brain.
- You must be able to say you agree to take part (no guardian needed).
- You must not have severe kidney problems (clearance below 30).
- You must not be taking a beta-blocker medication.
- You must not have a pacemaker or other reason that makes an MRI unsafe.

This study uses a special microscope to study how brain tissues communicate and signal. It will look at brain tissue taken during surgery (from certain tumor or brain disease cases) to better understand brain wiring and improve reading of lab signals.
This study fine-tunes MRI (brain imaging) methods and checks brain signals during testing in both healthy people and people with medical conditions. It may help improve how doctors use MRI to understand brain and nervous system changes.
This study records the activity of individual brain cells during planned brain surgery. The goal is to better understand how the brain works, which could help improve treatments for brain conditions in the future. It does not add any extra procedures or risks beyond your standard surgery.
This study looks at how the brain works during awake surgery for brain tumors. By asking you simple tasks while you are awake, doctors can map important brain areas to avoid damage and improve your recovery.
This study looks at brain signals recorded during surgery to better understand how the brain names pictures. It may help surgeons protect language areas during brain tumor removal.
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.
