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 a new way to manage brain pressure after a severe head injury. The goal is to improve blood flow to the brain, which may help recovery.
This study looks at information from children who had a serious head injury. It uses data from special brain monitors to help doctors decide how to best manage these injuries.
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.
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 tests a special brain-monitoring system in the ICU for people with severe brain injuries. It aims to give doctors early warnings about changes in the brain and help predict recovery, which may improve treatment and outcomes.
