Eye ultrasound for monitoring after brain tumor surgery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Cancer clinical trials.
This study uses a painless eye ultrasound to measure pressure inside your skull after brain tumor surgery. It may help doctors better monitor recovery without extra procedures.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 65 years old.
- You have a brain tumor (cancerous or non-cancerous) that needs surgery.
- You are awake and alert before surgery (Glasgow Coma Scale 15).
- You do not have certain eye problems like optic nerve tumors, cysts, or open injuries around the eyelid.
- You do not have other serious conditions like lupus, multiple sclerosis, or overactive thyroid.

This study tests a new way to estimate pressure inside the skull without extra needles or surgery. It uses a soft mask and ultrasound to measure pressure at a vein near the eye, aiming to find a safer alternative for people who already have a standard brain-pressure monitor in place.
This trial tests a non-invasive way to measure pressure inside the skull during brain tumor surgery. If it works, patients may avoid more invasive pressure monitors.
This study uses ultrasound to measure eye structures, like the optic nerve, to see if they can help detect increased pressure in the brain. It compares these measurements with CT or MRI scans to see how accurate the ultrasound is.
This study tests whether a quick, painless ultrasound of the eye can tell if there is dangerous pressure on the brain after a child's head injury, compared with a CT scan. The goal is to find a safer, faster way to check for brain pressure without needing a CT scan.
This study uses an ultrasound of the eye to measure pressure inside the skull in people who have had a head injury. It may help doctors quickly spot dangerous pressure without more invasive tests.
This study uses a quick ultrasound of the optic nerve to help doctors detect swelling or pressure in the brain. It may help people with suspected meningitis, encephalitis, stroke, or brain tumors decide on the best treatment earlier.
