Non-Helium Magnetoencephalography in Pediatric Brain Tumors

Study Purpose

This observational study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of magnetoencephalography (MEG) in the preoperative assessment of pediatric brain tumors, particularly in determining the extent of resection, and compare it with computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The main questions this study aims to answer are: What is the consistency between MEG and CT/MRI in localizing pediatric brain tumors? What is the clinical efficacy of MEG in determining the extent of resection of pediatric brain tumors preoperatively? Participants will: Undergo both MEG and CT/MRI examinations for preoperative assessment, and the extent of tumor resection will be determined by the comprehensive results of the above examinations. Be followed up with MEG and CT/MRI at 1, 3, and 6 months after surgery, along with neurological and quality-of-life assessments.

Recruitment Criteria

Accepts Healthy Volunteers Healthy volunteers are participants who do not have a disease or condition, or related conditions or symptoms	No
Study Type An interventional clinical study is where participants are assigned to receive one or more interventions (or no intervention) so that researchers can evaluate the effects of the interventions on biomedical or health-related outcomes. An observational clinical study is where participants identified as belonging to study groups are assessed for biomedical or health outcomes. Searching Both is inclusive of interventional and observational studies.	Observational [Patient Registry]
Eligible Ages	3 Years - 18 Years
Gender	All

Trial Details

Trial ID: This trial id was obtained from ClinicalTrials.gov, a service of the U.S. National Institutes of Health, providing information on publicly and privately supported clinical studies of human participants with locations in all 50 States and in 196 countries.	NCT06943742
Phase Phase 1: Studies that emphasize safety and how the drug is metabolized and excreted in humans. Phase 2: Studies that gather preliminary data on effectiveness (whether the drug works in people who have a certain disease or condition) and additional safety data. Phase 3: Studies that gather more information about safety and effectiveness by studying different populations and different dosages and by using the drug in combination with other drugs. Phase 4: Studies occurring after FDA has approved a drug for marketing, efficacy, or optimal use.
