Original title: Intraoperative Neurophysiological Monitoring in Brain Tumor Surgery: Prospective Cohort Studies
How far along is this research?
This is a trial that is enrolling or has been updated. It is not a finding yet.
No phase is listed for this study, and it is still a test, not proven care.
Status: Not yet recruiting. It has not opened yet. Ask your care team to watch for it if it looks like a fit.

The short version
This study tests if signal checks during surgery protect movement, speech, and sight.
Who this trial is for. It is for adults having surgery for brain tumors near areas that control movement, speech, or sight. During surgery, the team watches nerve signals. The study tests whether that helps the surgeon protect those abilities.
Where it stands. This study has not reported any results. It plans to look at how people move, speak, and see after surgery. It also plans to look at how much of the tumor was removed. Those answers are not in yet.
What this means, and what it doesn't
What it could mean: Signal checks for movement are already used in many surgeries. This study is meant to show how much they really help, and to test checks for speech and sight too. If you are facing brain tumor surgery, you can ask your care team about signal checks.
What it doesn't mean: This does not mean signal checks are proven to protect you. A trial is a test, not settled care. Taking part is not a promise of benefit, and it is not a cure. It also does not mean surgery carries no risk.
