Clinical Trial: Impact of a Preoperative 3D Virtual Reality Immersion Intervention on the Experience of Awake Brain Surgery

U.S., Sept. 22 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07830264) titled 'Impact of a Preoperative 3D Virtual Reality Immersion Intervention on the Experience of Awake Brain Surgery' on Sept. 15.

Brief Summary: Awake surgery for brain lesions located in functional areas is becoming increasingly common in current neurosurgical practice. The principle involves performing intraoperative mapping while the patient is awake, using direct cortical electrical stimulation (DCS) to identify functional areas. While awake during the procedure, the patient is tested on various aspects of language, sensorimotor, or visuospatial cognitive functions. DCS is applied sequentially across different brain regions. A stimulat...
