Using brain monitoring to protect memory during brain tumor surgery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Cancer clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 18 and 75 years old.
- You must have a brain tumor called a glioma and be scheduled to have surgery.
- You must be able to understand the study and give your written consent.
- You must be able to complete thinking and memory tests.
- You must not have severe heart, lung, liver, or kidney disease, severe psychiatric disorders, or serious language problems.

This trial uses an electroencephalogram (EEG), which is a non-invasive way to measure your brain's electrical activity, to see if it can help predict confusion or delirium after planned brain surgery. The goal is to find out if brain wave patterns can warn doctors early, which might lead to better care.
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.
This study tests a special brain-wave monitor (called processed EEG) during surgery to remove a brain tumor. The monitor helps the anesthesiologist keep you at the right level of sleep, which may improve safety and recovery.
This study looks at brain signals recorded during surgery to better understand how the brain names pictures. It may help surgeons protect language areas during brain tumor removal.
This study uses special recording sensors during brain tumor surgery to map the brain areas that control movement and speech. It may help the surgical team protect these key functions while removing the tumor.
This study looks at brain wave recordings taken during awake brain surgery for diffuse glioma. The goal is to better understand and protect important brain functions during tumor removal. If you are already scheduled for awake brain surgery with ECoG monitoring, you may be able to take part.
