Clinical Trial: New Findings About Somatosensory Evoked Potentials (SEP) During Surgery for Cerebral Aneurysms

Study Status: Recruiting
Recruit Status: Recruiting
Study Type: Observational




Official Title: I Potenziali Somato-sensoriali Nella Chirurgia Degli Aneurismi Cerebrali

Brief Summary:

During surgery, electrophysiological signals will be acquired with the instrument (ISIS IOM, NeuroExplore, Software Version 4.4, Inomed) already in use at the Neurosurgery Service of the Neurocentro of the Hospital Civic Italian Switzerland in Lugano. Simultaneously to Somatosensorial Evoked Potential (SEP) will also be recorded the Electroencephalography (EEG) activity with the same detection of locations.

For the purposes of the study the signals transmitted to the neurosurgeon through the hardware and the corresponding assessments done by the neurophysiologist responsible for intraoperative monitoring will be recorded. It will also be kept track of procedures performed during surgery.
