Plastinated models for teaching brain and spinal cord anatomy
This study is for medical students learning about brain and spinal cord anatomy. It uses special preserved models (plastinated) to help teach, and will see if they improve learning. You'll need to attend sessions for 7 weeks.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be a medical student in your third semester
- You must be enrolled in a neuroanatomy course at Isfahan University of Medical Sciences
- You cannot have any previous experience with plastinated models (preserved body parts used for teaching)
- You must be able to attend all study sessions for 7 weeks
- You must be able to complete assessments in Persian

This study tests a web-based training system that helps medical students and junior doctors learn to read sinus CT scans. It may improve their skills in interpreting these images, which could be useful for diagnosing sinus conditions.
This study compares a new way of teaching brain anatomy that combines digital tools with real specimens. If you are a second-year medical student, it could help you learn the material more effectively.
This trial uses donated placentas (surgical waste) to create a model for training neurosurgeons in repairing brain aneurysms. It does not test a treatment, but helps improve surgical skills.
This study compares two ways of teaching anatomy to first-year medical students: using virtual reality headsets versus traditional classroom methods. Researchers want to see which approach helps students learn better and feel more confident about anatomy.
