Brain areas for thinking and sensing during awake surgery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Cancer clinical trials.
This study maps brain functions during awake brain surgery for tumors. It uses visual and hearing tests to understand which brain areas are involved, helping protect important functions during surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a brain tumor
- You are between 18 and 75 years old
- You have vision good enough to see visual tests (with glasses or contacts if needed)
- You can hear well enough to hear sounds in the tests (with hearing aids if needed)
- You do not have any disorder that affects how your eyes move

This study uses special brain recordings during an awake surgical procedure to understand how the brain learns new movement and sensation skills. If you can comfortably take part in a simple task during surgery, you may help researchers learn how learning works in humans.
This trial measures how the brain reacts to small electrical stimulation during an awake surgery for a specific type of brain tumor. It may help surgeons better plan and improve care for people having their first surgery for this tumor type.
This study uses special recording sensors during brain tumor surgery to map the brain areas that control movement and speech. It may help the surgical team protect these key functions while removing the tumor.
This trial tests whether using EEG monitoring during surgery can help protect memory, attention, and other thinking skills for people with brain tumors (gliomas). If you are scheduled for brain tumor surgery and can complete simple thinking tests, this study may be an option for you.
This study tests whether special monitoring during brain surgery can help surgeons remove tumors safely while protecting important brain functions like language and movement.
This study looks at how healthy brain cells work during thinking tasks. If you're having brain surgery for certain conditions, doctors may record tiny electrical signals from your brain cells to understand memory and decision-making better.
