Brain tumor location may predict thinking and movement issues
NCT ID NCT04463979
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at how the location of a tumor in the cerebellum (the part of the brain that controls balance and coordination) affects a person's thinking and movement skills before and after surgery. Researchers will follow 66 adults with brain tumors, testing their cognition and motor abilities using exams and brain scans. The goal is to better understand which brain areas are linked to these functions, which could help guide future treatments and recovery plans.
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 study could help doctors predict and manage cognitive and motor problems in patients with cerebellar tumors, leading to better surgical planning and recovery.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study with only 66 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. It does not test a new treatment, so direct patient benefits are uncertain.
