Monitoring brain function during tumor surgery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Cancer clinical trials.
This study tests whether real-time monitoring of brain activity during surgery helps surgeons remove brain tumors more safely while preserving important functions like speech and movement.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You are scheduled to have surgery to remove a brain tumor that shows up on an MRI
- The tumor is near important parts of the brain that control language or movement
- You are able to give informed consent
- You are not pregnant and do not need emergency surgery

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 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 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 looks at how the brain works during awake surgery for brain tumors. By asking you simple tasks while you are awake, doctors can map important brain areas to avoid damage and improve your recovery.
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 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.
