Study Summary

This trial will study if it's safe and reliable to use a handheld device to measure a person's motor function during awake brain surgery.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 with primary or recurrent brain tumors. Participants must have a single brain lesion near the motor cortex, confirmed by preoperative imaging. It's not suitable for those under 18, with serious health issues like heart failure or severe lung disease, or cognitive impairments affecting instruction following.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests the use of a handheld dynamometer to measure muscle strength during awake craniotomy in patients having surgery to remove brain lesions close to areas controlling movement.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves monitoring with a device rather than testing a drug, there are no direct side effects from medication. However, risks may include discomfort from using the dynamometer and potential interference with surgical procedures.
