Noninvasive brain-pressure check versus invasive test in children
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial compares a noninvasive way to measure brain pressure to an invasive method in children. It may help reduce the need for painful or risky procedures while still getting useful measurements for care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You/your child has an invasive device already placed to measure brain pressure (ICP placement)
- Your child does NOT have a fracture at the base of the skull
- You can provide informed consent (you agree to the study)

This study tests a new, non-invasive device (brain4care) that measures pressure inside the skull without needing a needle or surgery. It is being used in ambulances to help emergency teams quickly detect high pressure in the brain caused by a stroke or head injury.
This study uses a special ultrasound on the eye to measure the optic nerve sheath, which can help detect increased pressure in the brain without needing an invasive test. It aims to provide a rapid, bedside method to identify patients who need urgent treatment.
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.
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 whether a safe, non-invasive ultrasound technique can help measure the pressure inside the skull after a brain injury. If it works, it could replace the need for a more invasive pressure monitor.
This study looks at a way of measuring and responding to high pressure inside the brain in children after a non-penetrating head injury. It may help doctors decide which monitoring approach works best for children who are very sick right after injury or become worse quickly.
