ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial, titled "Mapping of Electrical Properties in the Brain," is studying how to use imaging methods to better understand the electrical activity in the brain, particularly in patients with malignant glioma, a type of brain cancer. The goal is to improve the way doctors diagnose and monitor this condition. The study is currently looking for participants, including healthy volunteers and individuals who have had surgery for a suspected or confirmed glioma.

To be eligible for this trial, participants must be between the ages of 65 and 74, and healthy volunteers must be able to undergo an MRI, which is a type of scan that creates detailed images of the brain. Participants can expect to undergo various imaging tests during the trial, which will help researchers learn more about brain activity and potentially lead to better diagnostic methods in the future. It’s important to note that the study welcomes all genders and aims to gather diverse data to enhance understanding of this complex condition.
