Non-invasive brain pressure monitor for TBI
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a traumatic brain injury (TBI).
- You are an adult between 16 and 99 years old.
- You are admitted to the Royal London Hospital.
- You already have a device inside your head measuring pressure (invasive ICP monitoring) as part of your care.
- The skin on your forehead is healthy and without wounds.
- You have not had a surgery where part of your skull was removed (decompressive craniectomy).
- You do not have a tube draining fluid from your brain (external ventricular drain).
- Your doctors expect you to survive longer than 12 hours.

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.
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 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 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 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 uses a bedside ultrasound to check for increased pressure inside the skull after a traumatic brain injury. It aims to see if ultrasound can help diagnose this condition without more invasive procedures.
