No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The goal of this clinical research study is to learn about using Navigated Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (nTMS) in patients having surgery to remove a brain tumor in areas of the brain that control movement (motor function) and/or speech.

nTMS is a system designed to map the brain's function relating to movement and speech.

Conditions

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Motor Mapping

Motor mapping performed using nTMS system before surgery, then again at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months following surgery. Pads to monitor movements placed on face, arms and legs. A coil that is used to deliver stimulation will be placed on head. During stimulation, participant be asked to move certain muscles and will be monitored for motor responses over the course of 20 to 30 minutes.

PROCEDURE

Speech Mapping

Speech mapping performed using nTMS system before surgery, then again at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months following surgery. Participant shown 95 black-and-white drawings of common objects and asked to name them. During stimulation, participant asked to name the objects again and will be monitored for changes in speech or delays. This should take about 1½-2 hours to complete.
