Brain Surgery with New Monitoring Electrodes Pilot Study
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests a new minimally invasive device that helps doctors monitor brain activity during surgery for brain tumors or epilepsy. The device uses soft electrodes placed on the brain's surface to help surgeons work more safely and precisely.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Age 18–75 years old
- Diagnosed with a brain tumor or epilepsy that requires surgery
- Your surgery plan includes or may include subdural electrodes (soft monitoring strips placed on the brain surface)
- No active untreated infections or bleeding disorders that would make surgery unsafe
- Not currently enrolled in another clinical trial
- No known allergies to medical-grade silicone or platinum

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 tests a new “hybrid” type of electrodes placed inside the brain to better map where seizures start in people with difficult (drug-resistant) focal epilepsy. It may help doctors plan safer and more effective surgery, though it involves an invasive brain monitoring procedure.
This trial tests a way to improve how signals from the brain are monitored during surgery to protect important areas. It might help ensure the surgery is safer and more precise.
This study uses special brain recordings done during electrode implantation to better understand brain activity in people whose symptoms are hard to control with medications. The goal is to help doctors improve how they evaluate and treat certain brain or nerve conditions.
This trial tests a new flexible brain sensor to help guide surgery for people with drug-resistant focal epilepsy. It aims to find exactly where seizures start so surgeons can remove that area safely.
This trial is testing new flexible brain electrodes during epilepsy surgery. These electrodes may help doctors map brain activity better than standard rigid ones. If you are having surgery for epilepsy caused by a brain lesion, you might be able to join.
