Brain tumor surgery guided by brain wiring maps
Part of Brain & nervous system, Cancer clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a brain tumor (glioma or cancer that spread to the brain) that needs surgery
- The tumor is in an area of the brain that controls important functions like movement, speech, or vision
- You will have a standard MRI before and shortly after surgery, including a special scan that traces brain connections
- You are able to have follow-up appointments at the hospital where you have surgery
- You agree to let the researchers use your anonymous medical data and images

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 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 uses a brain connectivity map to help surgeons remove brain tumors while protecting areas that control language, movement, and thinking. It may be an option for people whose tumors are near important brain networks.
This study uses brain “mapping” tests (with MRI and possibly other methods) to identify important brain functions near a tumor. It may help your care team plan a safer surgery by understanding which brain areas do critical tasks.
