Trial summary

The purpose of this study is to determine if functional MRI is precise enough to provide information about the location of brain functions in patients who have brain tumors. This might allow physicians to use a non-invasive procedure to assist with brain mapping prior to surgery Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Presurgical Planning With Motion Corrected fMRI Mapping of Motor Cortex in Patients With Cerebral Tumors

The purpose of this study is to determine if functional MRI is precise enough to provide information about the location of brain functions in patients who have brain tumors. This might allow physicians to use a non-invasive procedure to assist with brain mapping prior to surgery

Read the detailed description

The purpose of this study is to determine if fMRI is precise enough to be used in preoperative decision making for patients who have brain tumors. Before a patient has brain surgery to have the tumor removed, functional mapping of the brain takes place either intra-operatively or post operatively after a subdural grid implant has been placed. Mapping helps the surgeon determine which areas of the brain are responsible for different important body functions. During this mapping procedure the surgeon determines if they can safely remove all or part of a brain tumor. The investigators are hoping to show that fMRI is just as accurate in mapping out different areas of the brain, without having to utilize an invasive form of brain mapping.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Presurgical MRIProcedure or surgery

    People who are scheduled to have brain surgery with undergo a fMRI of the brain before surgery. This is a "functional" scan, meaning that subjects will be asked to perform tasks (such as finger tapping or picture identification) during the MRI scan.

  • functional MRI (fMRI) of the brainProcedure or surgery

    Healthy subjects will be undergo a brain fMRI of the brain. fMRI is a "functional" scan, meaning that subjects will be asked to perform tasks (such as finger tapping or picture identification) during the MRI scan.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Determining whether fMRI mapping is as effective as invasive presurgical mapping.

    Subjects will be followed for the duration of their hospital stay with an expected average of 2 weeks.

    Measured: 2 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Presurgical MRI and functional MRI (fMRI) of the brain in people with Brain Tumors, run by University of Michigan at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 5 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 18 May 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Determining whether fMRI mapping is as effective as invasive presurgical mapping. (time frame: 2 weeks). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 18 May 2017; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 6 Nov 2026.
