Pupil measurement checks in neurocritical care patients
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study collects normal (baseline) results from a handheld eye pupil camera (a pupillometer) used during routine neuro–intensive care checks. It may help clinicians better interpret these eye measurements in future patients.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be admitted to one of the study hospitals (inpatient care)
- Your attending doctor must plan for regular pupillary (pupil) checks
- A nurse must be doing the pupil checks using the pupillometer device
- You must have orders (instructions) for regular pupillary assessments
- You must not be an outpatient (not coming only for visits)

This study tracks how your pupils react to light over time while you are in the ICU, to see if those changes relate to how you recover. It is a simple, non-invasive way to help doctors better predict outcomes for critically ill patients.
This study looks at how different breathing machine settings affect the pupil's response to light. Because pupil response can show how the nervous system is doing, this could help doctors better monitor and care for patients on ventilators.
This study uses a special camera to measure pupil reactions in patients being evaluated for brain death. The aim is to see if this test can help confirm the diagnosis of brain death more accurately.
This study tests a new way to check the health of a newborn's brain using a special light test that looks at how the pupil reacts. It is for babies who had a lack of oxygen around birth (HIE) and might help doctors better understand the severity of the brain injury.
This study checks how well a device can measure how your pupils respond to colored light. It may help improve eye testing, especially when monitoring certain vision and nerve conditions.
This study is testing a handheld device that measures how your pupils respond to light. It may help detect early damage to the optic nerve in people suspected of having multiple sclerosis.
