Robotic brain blood flow check for patients after spinal surgery
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial tests a new robotic device that uses sound waves to check blood flow in the brain. It is for people who are in the Neuro ICU after spinal surgery and need careful blood pressure management.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 18 and 89 years old.
- You must be in the Neuro ICU (a special intensive care unit for brain and spine patients) because your blood pressure needs close monitoring after spinal surgery.
- You cannot have a prior brain condition (like a brain tumor or stroke).
- You cannot have any open wounds or bandages over the temple area of your head.
- You cannot be currently taking part in another interventional research study.

This study looks at whether monitoring brain blood flow after a blocked artery is opened can help predict if the treatment will be successful. It may help doctors identify who might need additional help after stroke treatment.
This trial tests if a simple, at-home arm cuff treatment (Remote Ischaemic Conditioning) can improve blood flow regulation in the brain of older adults. It may help understand how to protect brain health as we age.
This trial uses a special light-based sensor (near-infrared spectroscopy) to monitor blood flow in the brain continuously after a bleeding stroke (subarachnoid hemorrhage). The goal is to improve early detection of reduced blood flow, which could help prevent complications.
This trial tests whether a robotic system using a bedside ultrasound test (TCD) can safely monitor brain blood flow in adults with severe traumatic brain injury soon after the injury. It may help the care team track changes earlier and adjust treatment sooner.
This study looks at how blood flow to the brain changes when you are tilted during robotic prostate surgery. It may help doctors understand how to keep patients safe during the procedure.
This study tests a new way to monitor blood flow to the brain during heart surgery. The goal is to see if this can help protect the brain and reduce thinking problems after surgery.
