CGRP and substance P in meningitis ICU patients
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study measures two natural chemicals (CGRP and substance P) in adult ICU patients with suspected meningitis. It aims to see if their levels help diagnose or understand meningitis better.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You are being treated in an intensive care unit (ICU).
- Your doctors think you might have meningitis (swelling of the brain or spinal cord covering).
- You must have had a neurosurgery procedure or have a drain in your spine to collect fluid.

This study looks at the best way to treat meningitis in adults right away and then checks how people recover over time. It aims to improve care and recovery for patients.
This study enrolls children and newborns with suspected or confirmed bacterial meningitis. The goal is to understand and improve care for serious infections that affect the lining around the brain.
This trial focuses on people in Denmark who may have an infection in the brain or the fluid around the brain and spinal cord. Researchers aim to collect and compare diagnostic results for different infection types (viral meningitis, bacterial meningitis, encephalitis, and others) to help confirm the cause and guide care.
This trial tests a method to quickly identify the cause of meningitis or encephalitis by looking at your symptoms and spinal fluid results. It may help doctors choose the right treatment faster.
This study follows children with meningitis to see how well treatments work and what happens in the long run. If your child has a fever and signs of meningitis (like a stiff neck, headache, or rash), they may be able to join.
This study tests a new type of test called Delve Detect that looks for germs in spinal fluid from people suspected of having a brain or spinal cord infection. It helps doctors find the cause faster and more accurately.
