Brain tumor surgery planning with mixed reality
Part of Brain & nervous system, Cancer clinical trials.
This trial explores whether using a 3D mixed-reality viewer (like special goggles) to plan brain tumor surgery beforehand can help surgeons do a better job. If you are an adult with a brain tumor needing planned surgery and have had a recent MRI or CT scan, you may be able to join.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have a brain tumor that needs surgery (a craniotomy).
- You can understand and sign a consent form.
- You have already had an MRI or CT scan of your brain for this tumor.
- Your surgery is not an emergency — there is time for extra planning.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study uses a special MRI scan where you watch a movie to help doctors map important functions in your brain before surgery. The goal is to improve surgical planning and safety for patients with brain tumors.
This trial tests whether a special brain stimulation technique (nTMS) before surgery can help the brain reorganize around a tumor. It's for people with aggressive brain tumors near movement areas, who still have good strength.
This study tests a new way to guide brain surgery using a head-mounted mixed reality system, which helps the surgeon see the tumor and surrounding structures. It is for adults with certain brain tumors that have not been treated before.
This observational study is testing a new 3D computer tool to help doctors plan brain tumor surgeries. If you are an adult scheduled for surgery on a suspected malignant brain tumor, your doctors can use this tool to see your tumor in 3D and improve the operation.
This study uses virtual reality to help doctors plan, practice, and explain brain surgeries. It may help you understand your procedure better and help your surgical team prepare.
This study checks a new computer software tool that helps doctors map important brain networks and how blood flow responds during brain scans. It may help improve planning and safety for people having brain tumor surgery.
