Seizure patterns may reveal hidden tumor changes
NCT ID NCT04553757
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how seizures change over time in people with low grade glioma (a slow-growing brain tumor) who are on treatment. By tracking seizure frequency and comparing it to MRI scans, researchers hope to find early signs of tumor changes. The goal is to help doctors detect problems sooner and improve care. About 100 adults with brain tumors and a history of seizures are taking part.
