The short version
This study tests a way to protect brain function so surgeons can safely remove more tumor.

What the trial team says
This study uses a cranial implant to deliver cortical stimulation that, when paired with physiotherapy, will remap the brain so that critical brain functions can be protected during brain tumor surgery. This pilot study will provide initial evidence for the safety and feasibility of such a protocol which will lead to future pivotal trials that could radically change eloquent area brain surgery. For patients with otherwise incompletely resectable brain tumors, this could mean a longer life expectancy and a better quality of life.

How to use this
Talk to your care team first. They know your history and can tell you whether this trial is worth your time.
Joining a trial is always your choice. A trial is a test, not a proven treatment. Being in one is not a promise that it will help you.
This page is built from the trial's listing on ClinicalTrials.gov, a service of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. That listing is the authority, and it may have changed since we last read it. We do not run this trial and we cannot enroll you in it.
