Testing a robot for blood flow checks after spine surgery
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study is testing if a robot can safely and easily check blood flow in the brain using sound waves. It is for people who are in the Neuro ICU after spine surgery to manage blood pressure.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are between 18 and 89 years old
- You are currently in the Neuro ICU after having spine surgery
- You do not have a diagnosed brain condition
- You do not have open wounds on the sides of your head (near the temples)
- You are able to speak and understand English
- You are not pregnant, not a prisoner, and not enrolled in another study

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 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 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 measures blood flow in the brain while you are in different positions during robotic prostate surgery. It aims to understand how your body handles the steep head-down position used in this type of surgery.
This trial tests if a robot can help perform a brain artery scan through the wrist as safely and effectively as the standard manual method. It might be an option if you need a detailed look at blood vessels in your brain.
This study measures how well blood flows to your child's brain while they're in the intensive care unit on a breathing machine. Understanding this flow may help doctors better care for critically ill children.
