Check monitoring for high brain pressure after child head injury
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- A parent or guardian must sign and date consent for the study
- Your child has a non-penetrating head injury (not from an object going into the head)
- Your child must arrive to the study hospital within 24 hours of the injury
- Your child is 1 to 12 years old
- Your child’s brain/neurologic score (GCS) is low (≤ 8) on arrival or worsens to ≤ 8 within 48 hours

This trial tests if adjusting treatment to maintain optimal blood flow in the brain can improve recovery after a severe traumatic brain injury. It may help patients who need close monitoring of brain pressure in the ICU.
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.
This study tests a new, non-invasive way to check for increased pressure inside the skull in people with suspected stroke or head injury while they are being transported by ambulance. The goal is to see if this method can help emergency teams identify who needs urgent treatment sooner.
This study looks at patients with severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) who already need brain pressure or oxygen monitoring. Doctors want to see if certain tests can help predict how well someone might recover.
This trial studies how to time medication or treatment doses when a person has serious brain injury, using measurements from a pressure monitor in the skull. It may help doctors manage brain swelling and pressure more effectively.
This trial is testing a new way to monitor pressure inside the skull without surgery, using a small sensor placed on the head. It aims to help emergency doctors quickly decide on the best treatment for people with traumatic brain injury or stroke.
