Can mixed reality make brain surgery safer?
NCT ID NCT07468370
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether mixed reality glasses can help surgeons plan incisions for brain tumor removal more accurately and quickly than current methods. About 54 adults needing brain surgery will be observed as surgeons use the device during standard care. The goal is to see if the technology improves planning precision and saves time.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Mixed reality glasses/viewer
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could show that mixed reality helps surgeons plan incisions more accurately and quickly, potentially improving outcomes for brain tumor surgery.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early observational study, not a large trial. It may not prove the device works better than current methods, and results may not apply to all hospitals or surgeries.
