Can brain waves predict glioma progression? new study investigates

NCT ID NCT05565118

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Aug 07, 2026 · Updated 2 times

Summary

This study looks at whether recording electrical activity in and around high-grade glioma tumors during surgery can help predict how the tumor will progress. Ten adults with suspected or confirmed high-grade glioma will undergo standard surgery plus extra brain recordings and a small biopsy. The goal is to see if certain brain activity patterns are linked to later tumor growth on MRI scans.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to
If successful, this could help doctors predict how aggressive a glioma is based on brain activity patterns, potentially guiding future treatment decisions.
What could go wrong
This is a very early, small study with only 10 participants. It is designed to test feasibility, not to prove a treatment works, so results may not lead to immediate changes in care.
