Approximately 3% of people have aneurysms in the brain. Using a particularly high-resolution 7-Tesla MRI, we want to examine the vessel walls more closely in order to better assess the risk of rupture.
The study is investigating whether heavy smokers between the ages of 30 and 60 are more likely to have undetected brain aneurysms and whether screening can help prevent cerebral hemorrhages.
This study compares classic tonic deep brain stimulation (DBS) with Burst DBS to determine which of these two forms of stimulation achieves longer-lasting pain reduction.
We investigate cortico-cortical evoked potentials (CCEPs) during surgery near the speech pathways in order to identify speech networks more precisely and increase resection safety.
In this research project, we are investigating whether combining routine imaging with CFD analyses can help to detect an increased risk of stroke at an early stage.
The trial investigates whether early, minimally invasive, image-guided removal of brain hemorrhages improves the survival chances and quality of life of patients compared with the current standard of care.
After a brain tumor diagnosis, precise removal is crucial. The HORAO project is developing a new optical technology that better distinguishes between healthy and diseased tissue.
With machine learning in intraoperative neurophysiology, we aim to evaluate complex signals more quickly and accurately in order to reduce the risk of neurological damage during surgery.
Our research project investigates how artificial intelligence can be used in neurosurgery to accelerate learning, systematically deepen knowledge, and make research more efficient.
This study aims to improve transcranial motor evoked potentials measurements during brain surgery and monitor movements in the surgical field to enhance the safety of patients.
Approximately 1–10% of stroke patients develop a difficult-to-treat central pain syndrome, whose causes are still poorly understood. Our trial uses modern MRI to investigate why it only occurs in some patients.
This project investigates which composition of deposits in the carotid artery carries a higher risk of rupture and thus stroke. The aim is to detect risk plaques at an early stage and treat them in a targeted manner.
To reduce therapy side effects, researchers are investigating whether brain tumor surgery can be performed safely without or with only very low doses of cortisone prior to the procedure.
The trial investigates whether patients with recurrent glioblastoma benefit more from tumor-removal surgery or from starting a second round of chemotherapy or radiation therapy immediately.
An ultrasound implant temporarily opens the blood-brain barrier, allowing chemotherapy to better reach brain tumors. The study tests whether this can more effectively slow recurrent glioblastoma growth.
This study investigates a new procedure for treating severe strokes. Instead of performing two operations, as has been the case up to now, a special space shield is used to stabilize the skull immediately.
The trial compares two methods of monitoring motor function during brain tumor surgery. The aim is to determine which technique can more reliably predict paralysis after surgery.
The study tests whether the antibiotic vancomycin, applied as a powder to surgical wounds, can prevent infections after spinal surgery, while also assessing its safety and tolerability.
The trial is investigating whether electrical stimulation of the cervical spinal cord can reduce dangerous vasospasms after a cerebral hemorrhage and thus improve the course of the disease.
