NCT ID NCT05342454

First seen Nov 16, 2025 · Last updated May 13, 2026 · Updated 20 times

Summary

This study is testing a new software that uses fMRI scans to create detailed maps of important brain areas, like those controlling movement and language, before brain tumor surgery. The goal is to help surgeons avoid damaging these critical regions during tumor removal. The study involves 1,720 adults with brain tumors who are already scheduled for surgery and standard fMRI scans.
