Overview

The goal of this randomized clinical controlled trial is to learn about whether neuro-navigation repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (nrTMS) was useful to accelerate the recovery in patients with SMA syndrome after glioma resection. The main questions aim to answer:

  • Question 1: Whether the nrTMS was useful to accelerate the recovery of motor function back to the preoperative status in participants with SMA syndrome after glioma resection.
  • Question 2: Whether the nrTMS was useful to improve postoperative motor function in participants with SMA syndrome after glioma resection.

Participants will continue to receive nrTMS treatment or nrTMS sham-treatment for 7 times on the 8th day after glioma resection to determine whether the TMS was helpful for exercise rehabilitation. The investigator will evaluate the effects of nrTMS treatment through the ratio of recovery of motor function and the time that was from the participants suffering SMA syndrome to totally recover the motor function to the status of motor function in pre-operation.

Description

This study will use the 8-coil (Magstem, England, No.4150) and sham 8-coil (Magstem, England) The criteria of enrolled patients are: A. Inclusion time: from April 01 2023 to March 31 2025 (including the current month); B. Inpatients in neurosurgery oncology wards of Beijing Tiantan Hospital; C. Right-handed, age: 25-55 years old, tumor located in SMA, no previous treatment history of nervous system disease; D. The patient received wake-up surgery and applied direct cortical electrical stimulation during the operation to determine the location of the motor area; E. Postoperative pathology was low grade glioma; F. Can accept nrTMS rehabilitation treatment.

The excluding criteria are:

  1. The tumor grows across the midline to the opposite side; B. When collecting rs-fMRI data, head movement exceeds 1mm and head deflection exceeds 1 °; C. The patient did not have SMA syndrome after operation; D. Vulnerable or special groups and protective measures, such as pregnant women.

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
