Measure pressure in the back part of the brain in serious illness
Part of Brain & nervous system, Cancer clinical trials.
This study measures pressure inside the skull (intracranial pressure) in adults with serious problems in the back part of the brain. Doctors want to better understand pressure patterns in emergencies like bleeding, tumors, or stroke-related injuries, which may help guide treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be at least 18 years old
- Your condition involves the posterior fossa (the back lower part of the brain)
- Your illness is from trauma, a tumor, stroke-related injury (ischemic), or bleeding (hemorrhagic)
- Your GCS score must be 8 or lower (a scale doctors use to rate how awake you are)
- You likely do not have a bleeding/clotting problem (coagulation disorder)

This study looks at how blood vessel function relates to brain blood flow in patients in intensive care with brain injuries or conditions. It aims to find better ways to monitor patients using non-invasive tools.
This trial tests a non-invasive way to measure pressure inside the skull during brain tumor surgery. If it works, patients may avoid more invasive pressure monitors.
This study uses eye scans to see if changes in the retina can help doctors measure pressure inside the skull. It may help find a safer way to check for high pressure in the brain without needing a needle in the back.
This study uses a special video exam of your eyes to record patterns that may relate to brain pressure changes. It may help researchers find a safer, non-contact way to monitor pressure inside the skull.
This study is testing a new way to measure pressure inside the skull without needing a separate procedure. It may be an option for people having brain surgery, getting spinal taps, or needing their VP shunt adjusted.
This study tests a new way to estimate pressure inside the skull without extra needles or surgery. It uses a soft mask and ultrasound to measure pressure at a vein near the eye, aiming to find a safer alternative for people who already have a standard brain-pressure monitor in place.
