Brain zap and therapy may let surgeons remove more tumor safely
Disease control Not yet recruitingThis early study tests a new approach for people with slow-growing brain tumors located in areas that control movement. A small device placed on the skull delivers mild electrical stimulation while patients do physical therapy, aiming to retrain the brain so that critical functio…

A new PET scan tracks brain tumors by their appetite for tryptophan
Diagnosis Not yet recruitingThis trial is testing whether a special PET/CT scan that uses a radioactive form of tryptophan can provide better information about gliomas (a type of brain tumor) than standard MRI. The study has three parts: seeing if the scan can better define the tumor for radiation planning,…

Digital tests may offer a new way to track brain health in tumor patients
Knowledge-focused Not yet recruitingThis study explores whether self-administered digital cognitive tests can accurately measure thinking skills like attention, memory, and processing speed in people with primary central nervous system lymphoma or low-grade gliomas. Participants will complete both digital tests (on…
