Study of a new forehead sensor for brain pressure monitoring
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests a new sensor that measures brain pressure from outside the head. It is for people who are already in the hospital getting their brain pressure and blood pressure monitored continuously.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You are already having continuous pressure monitoring inside your brain as part of your care.
- You are already having continuous blood pressure monitoring as part of your care.
- You do not have implants or open wounds on your forehead that would block the sensor.
- Your skull bone is intact where the sensor will be placed.

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 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 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 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 observes how doctors monitor brain activity in patients admitted to a neurological intensive care unit. Researchers will use special sensors to measure brain waves and other brain functions to better understand how to care for critically ill patients.
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.
