New treatment option for Brain Neoplasm
Official title Electrocorticography in Mapping Functional Brain Areas During Surgery in Patients With Brain Tumors
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT02754544
What this study is testing
- What it's testing
- This pilot clinical trial studies how well electrocorticography works in mapping functional brain areas during surgery in patients with brain tumors. Using a larger than the standard mapping grid currently used during brain tumor surgery or a high-definition grid for electrocorticogram brain mapping may help doctors to better identify which areas of the brain are active during specific limb movement and speech during surgery in patients with brain tumors.
