Low brain blood flow after severe brain injury or bleeding
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial is testing a new way to measure low blood flow to the brain in patients who are in a coma after a brain bleed, head injury, or hydrocephalus. It may help doctors better understand how to care for patients with these serious conditions.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You have a brain bleed, head injury, or fluid buildup in the brain (hydrocephalus)
- You are in a coma (Glasgow Coma Scale less than 9) and need a breathing machine
- You have an arterial line (a tube in an artery) for monitoring
- A brain ultrasound shows signs of low blood flow to the brain

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 how well blood flows through the brain after a special procedure to remove a blood clot causing stroke. Researchers use a tiny temperature sensor to understand blood circulation, which may help improve stroke care.
This trial tests if adjusting treatment to maintain optimal blood flow in the brain can improve recovery after a severe traumatic brain injury. It may help patients who need close monitoring of brain pressure in the ICU.
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 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.
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.
