Neurosurgical approaches for brain and spine
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study looks at new neurosurgical methods for the brain and spine using donated bodies. It helps surgeons practice and improve techniques that may later benefit patients.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Must be a donated body or tissue for scientific research
- Must meet Italian legal laws for anatomical donation (Law 10/2020, DPR 47/2023)
- Must be in good condition (no major deformities, no tissue breakdown)
- Must be available for the entire study and okay for multiple surgical procedures
- Must have clear donor consent and proper paperwork

This study uses donated bodies to map where nerves enter the leg muscles, which could help doctors avoid nerve damage during surgery. It does not involve living patients.
This trial uses donated body cells or small hair samples from people with neurological diseases (and healthy donors) to try to grow “nerve-like” cells for research. It may help scientists learn how to better study and treat different neurological conditions.
This trial compares different anesthesia strategies used during organ donation surgery after brain death to see which one helps preserve organs better for transplant. It is for brain-dead adult patients in the ICU whose families agree to organ donation and research participation.
This study collects leftover brain or spinal tumor tissue during neurosurgery (or from autopsies) so researchers can test drugs and measure how they work. It may help future treatments by improving drug screening using real patient tissue.
This study looks at the brain's natural cleaning system in people who have just passed away and are registered as organ donors. It aims to understand how this system works, which could one day help with brain diseases.
This study collects data from people having brain or spine surgery for many different conditions. It aims to understand how well different treatments work and how people recover. If you are scheduled for certain brain, spine, or nerve surgeries, you may be able to join.
