Check a scalp sensor to detect brain swelling after injury
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests whether a sensor on the scalp can detect a wave of abnormal electrical activity in the brain after a traumatic brain injury (TBI). The goal is to help clinicians monitor and possibly treat dangerous pressure build-up in the brain.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have had a recommendation to get an EVD (a drain) placed to monitor brain pressure after TBI
- Any scalp cuts or wounds are not considered contaminated
- You do not have a known serious infection in your body
- You (or your caregiver) can communicate in English
- You do not have a bleeding/thinning problem that cannot be corrected

Other trials that look related to this one.
This early study tests whether a brain-stimulation method can help after recovery from a mild to moderate traumatic brain injury (TBI), sometimes called concussion. It also may include healthy volunteers to compare safety and computer-based brain measures.
This trial tests a special drain to help reduce dangerous brain swelling after a severe head injury. It may help patients who need this drain and are in the intensive care unit.
This trial monitors brain activity with special electrodes after a severe head injury. It aims to understand how the brain recovers by watching the electrical signals, which might help improve treatment for brain pressure.
This trial looks at changes in brain activity after severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) when patients need emergency skull surgery. The goal is to better understand what happens in the brain after surgery and whether earlier recognition could help care after injury.
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.
This trial tests a new, non-invasive way to monitor pressure inside the skull for people with traumatic brain injury. It compares the new device to the standard invasive method already being used in your care.
