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 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 new, non-invasive device (brain4care) that measures pressure inside the skull without needing a needle or surgery. It is being used in ambulances to help emergency teams quickly detect high pressure in the brain caused by a stroke or head injury.
This trial monitors brain activity with special electrodes after a severe head injury. It aims to understand how the brain recovers by watching the electrical signals, which might help improve treatment for brain pressure.
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 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.
