First seen Jan 15, 2026 · Last updated Apr 30, 2026 · Updated 13 times

Summary

This study looks at whether a non-invasive brain-mapping technique called nTMS can help doctors plan radiation more safely for people with brain tumors near the motor cortex—the area that controls movement. About 22 adults who already had radiation for brain tumors will be scanned with nTMS to see if the extra information helps doctors avoid damaging motor nerves. The goal is to find out if this tool is practical and useful in everyday care.
