Language brain training before brain surgery
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This study tests whether a special MRI training session can help preserve your language abilities before brain surgery. It uses real-time feedback to strengthen the language network in your brain.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a type of brain tumor called a glioma (grade 2 or 3) that affects the language areas of your brain.
- You are scheduled for surgery to remove the tumor.
- You are able to have an MRI scan without any metal or devices that would be unsafe.
- You can speak and understand simple language tasks used in the training.
- You live within 2 hours of Yale's MRI center and can make multiple visits.

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 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 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 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 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 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.
