Overview

A single centre IDEAL Stage 1 feasibility study using novel electrophysiological recording techniques in adult participants undergoing neurosurgery. This is a first in human study, building upon previous preclinical mice experiments.

Participants will undergo their planned neurosurgical procedure as normal. In addition to their standard treatment neurophysiological monitoring including an electrocorticography electrode placed on the brain deep to the retractor will be used to monitor for signs of brain retraction injury.

Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Patients aged 16 or older undergoing intracranial surgery where it is anticipated fixed brain retraction will be used.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Patients without capacity to give consent at time of recruitment

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.
