Robot brain surgery accuracy put to the test
NCT ID NCT04712552
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested how accurately a robot system called Neurolocate helps place electrodes in the brain during deep brain stimulation surgery. It involved 18 adults with Parkinson's disease, dystonia, or tremor. The goal was to see if the robot could improve precision, reduce surgery time, and make the procedure more comfortable for patients.
