NCT ID NCT01535430
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study uses brain mapping techniques like fMRI and MEG before, during, and after surgery to see how brain functions like movement and speech reorganize in people with brain tumors. Researchers hope to improve surgical planning and preserve important brain functions. The study involves 75 adults with brain tumors near critical brain areas.
