Nerve sheath ultrasound in preeclampsia for safer anesthesia
Part of Brain & nervous system, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study uses a painless ultrasound to measure the nerve behind your eye in pregnant women with preeclampsia. The goal is to see if this measurement can help doctors better manage anesthesia during delivery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study is for people having kidney stone surgery. It looks at how the position you are in during surgery affects the nerve sheath around your eye, which may help doctors monitor pressure in the brain.
This study looks at how the size and collapsibility of a vein in the neck changes after spinal anesthesia for cesarean section. It compares women with preeclampsia (high blood pressure during pregnancy) to healthy women to see if this vein measurement can help predict who might have low blood pressure after the anesthesia.
This study uses a simple eye ultrasound to measure eye structures during gallbladder surgery. It aims to see if these measurements can help monitor pressure inside the head during the procedure.
This study uses eye scans to see if changes in the retina can help doctors measure pressure inside the skull. It may help find a safer way to check for high pressure in the brain without needing a needle in the back.
This trial tests if using a gentle nerve stimulation device (applied near the neck) can help women with mild preeclampsia. It may offer a non-medication way to manage blood pressure during pregnancy.
This study tests whether a special camera (hyperspectral imaging) can predict preeclampsia, a serious pregnancy condition, by taking pictures during a routine ultrasound. It may help doctors spot risks earlier.
