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 different breathing settings during surgery affect pressure inside the brain for people having planned (non-emergency) brain surgery. It may help doctors choose safer ways to manage breathing during your procedure.
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 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 tests a non-invasive way to monitor pressure inside the skull during brain tumor surgery. It may help guide treatment without the need for invasive monitors.
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 non-invasive device that measures pressure inside the skull (intracranial pressure) without needing surgery, to help doctors treat people with brain injuries or strokes in busy emergency rooms. The goal is to see if this simpler monitoring can improve care and outcomes.
