Brain stimulation before surgery for brain tumors near movement areas
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique (called TMS) given before surgery can help the brain adapt and preserve movement function during surgery for a fast-growing brain tumor. It aims to reduce the risk of losing movement after surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 18 and 80 years old.
- You need to have a suspected high-grade glioma (a fast-growing brain tumor) seen on an MRI.
- The tumor must be close to the part of the brain that controls movement.
- You should still have good movement function (able to move your muscles against some force).
- You are willing to sign a consent form to participate.

This study tests whether combining brain stimulation with behavioral therapy before surgery can help surgeons remove more of a slow-growing brain tumor (low-grade glioma) while protecting movement and speech. It may help patients whose tumor is near the part of the brain that controls movement on one side.
This study tests a personalized approach to map and protect the brain's movement pathways during surgery for slow-growing brain tumors. The goal is to remove as much tumor as possible while keeping your quality of life and movement abilities intact.
This trial tests a combination of brain stimulation (rTMS) and cognitive strategy training to help improve memory and thinking in people with glioma. If you have a stable brain tumor and notice problems with focus or memory, you may be able to join.
This study tests whether using brain wave (EEG) monitoring during brain tumor surgery can help protect your thinking and memory. It might help you keep more of your cognitive function after surgery.
This trial uses advanced brain scans to create a detailed map of your brain's wiring before surgery. This helps surgeons remove more tumor safely while protecting important areas that control movement, language, and vision.
This study tests a new way to monitor brain activity during surgery to remove brain tumors. It may help doctors better protect important brain functions during the operation.
