Blood vessel function and brain blood flow in neurocritical patients
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study looks at how blood vessel function relates to brain blood flow in patients in intensive care with brain injuries or conditions. It aims to find better ways to monitor patients using non-invasive tools.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are older than 18 years old.
- You have a brain condition like traumatic brain injury, stroke, brain bleed, or brain tumor.
- You currently have continuous blood pressure monitoring through an arterial line (a small tube in an artery).
- You have continuous intracranial pressure (ICP) monitoring (a sensor that measures pressure inside your skull).
- You are willing to sign a consent form (or have a family member do it for you).

This study tests a non-invasive device that measures pressure inside the skull (intracranial pressure) without needing surgery, to help doctors treat people with brain injuries or strokes in busy emergency rooms. The goal is to see if this simpler monitoring can improve care and outcomes.
This study looks at how blood flow in the brain changes when blood pressure rises or falls in people in the ICU. It may help doctors understand safer ways to manage blood pressure in critically ill patients.
This study uses a special monitoring system to closely watch patients in the neurologic intensive care unit. It may help doctors better understand and treat brain injuries.
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 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 tests a way to monitor blood flow to the brain after a cardiac arrest that was not caused by trauma. It aims to help doctors find the best blood pressure to support brain recovery in the ICU.
