Objective:

To compare clinical outcomes, primarily focusing on adverse event analysis, between direct cortical stimulation (DCS) and transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) in brain tumor patients.

Key Findings:
  • 918 studies were initially collected, with 14 eligible studies identified for meta-analysis, most of which were not randomized and lacked comprehensive clinical outcome comparisons.
Interpretation:

The study highlights the need for more robust comparative research on DCS and TMS in brain tumor surgeries, which is crucial for informing clinical practices.

Limitations:
  • Many included studies were not randomized, which may introduce biases.
  • Limited availability of comparative studies on clinical outcomes.
Conclusion:

This systematic review and meta-analysis aims to provide insights into the efficacy and safety of DCS versus TMS in brain tumor surgeries, emphasizing the importance of further research to enhance clinical practices.
