Trial Identification

Brief Title: Strategic Intervention on Preserving Motor Function During Awake Craniotomy

Official Title: Strategic Intervention on Preserving Motor Function With Application of Monopolar Stimulator During Awake Glioma Resection Surgery

Study ID: NCT05143788

Conditions

Glioma

Interventions

Awake craniotomy

Study Description

Brief Summary: This study aims to compare the motor functions after traditional or a new surgical plan during awake glioma resection surgery.

Detailed Description: This study concentrates on patients with type III motor area glioma. In the awake surgery, The investigators compare the new surgical plan, which the investigators use a monopolar stimulator to determine and retain the tumor margin within 5mm from the posterior limb of the inner capsule. For the traditional surgical plan, the investigators use bipolar stimulator according to the current standard surgery plan. After the positive points are identified by stimulator, the positive points are retained in order to preserve the motor function while all the non-positive points of the tumor are resected. This study is designed to determine whether the new surgical plan is more suitable for type III motor area glioma patients.
