Robotic ultrasound monitoring for severe traumatic brain injury
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a robotic system using a bedside ultrasound test (TCD) can safely monitor brain blood flow in adults with severe traumatic brain injury soon after the injury. It may help the care team track changes earlier and adjust treatment sooner.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are an adult age 18 or older
- Your injury is a blunt head injury and happened within the last 72 hours
- Your initial Glasgow Coma Score (GCS) is 8 or less (a measure of how awake you are)
- There is enough “TCD window” for the ultrasound test to work on your head
- A legally authorized representative can give consent if you cannot consent yourself

This study is looking at people with traumatic brain injuries to improve how they are treated. If you join, you will get an MRI and other tests within the first two days after your injury, and the researchers will track your recovery over time.
This study is testing a new blood-based test to help doctors diagnose traumatic brain injury (TBI) and track recovery or complications. If you have had a head injury and a CT scan as part of your care, you may be able to join.
This study uses ultrasound scans of the head and eye to quickly check how severe a traumatic brain injury is, which may help doctors predict who needs closer monitoring and earlier treatment.
This trial tests a new monitor that tracks blood flow in patients with severe traumatic brain injury or bleeding in the brain. The device may help doctors better manage care for these critically ill patients.
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.
This trial tests a new robotic device that uses sound waves to check blood flow in the brain. It is for people who are in the Neuro ICU after spinal surgery and need careful blood pressure management.
