NCT ID NCT06480370
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests different ways to stimulate the brain during surgery to monitor motor function while minimizing patient movement. Researchers will use accelerometers and microscope video to measure movement. The goal is to make brain surgery safer by protecting areas that control movement.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- ISIS IOM System (device for electrical stimulation and monitoring)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could lead to safer brain surgeries by reducing unintended patient movement and better protecting motor function.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-stage optimization study, not a treatment trial. Results may not change standard practice or benefit all patients.
