The short version
This study tests brain surgery for people whose brain tumor causes seizures.
Who this trial is for. This trial is for people age 8 and older who have a brain tumor with seizures. They must be willing to have brain surgery to treat the seizures.
Where it stands. The study looks at how surgery affects seizures. Doctors remove the tumor and the brain area where the seizures start. People keep a seizure diary before and after surgery. The trial has not reported results.
What this means, and what it doesn't
What it could mean: Some people with a brain tumor and seizures may want to learn more. If this sounds like you, you can ask your care team about it.
What it doesn't mean: This does not mean surgery is a proven fix for these seizures. A trial is a test, not a treatment you can count on. Being in one is not a promise that it will help. It is not a cure.
