Using light to check brain blood flow after bleeding
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study uses a light-based device (near-infrared spectroscopy) placed on the forehead to continuously monitor blood flow in the brain for people with a type of stroke called aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage. It may help doctors detect changes in blood flow more quickly, without needing extra procedures.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 89 years old.
- You have been diagnosed with a brain bleed from a burst aneurysm (subarachnoid hemorrhage).
- You are currently a patient in the Neuro ICU at UAB between March 2025 and December 2026.

This study tests two things: a new sensor that monitors brain pressure without surgery, and a procedure that stimulates a nerve in your neck to help your body recover. It's designed for patients admitted to the hospital with a specific type of brain bleed caused by a burst blood vessel.
This trial uses brain MRI scans and memory/brain-function tests in people who are recovering from a specific type of brain bleed (aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage). It aims to understand how the brain’s memory area changes after the event and how that may relate to memory function during rehabilitation.
This study observes how doctors monitor brain activity in patients admitted to a neurological intensive care unit. Researchers will use special sensors to measure brain waves and other brain functions to better understand how to care for critically ill patients.
This study looks at how the body's blood flow, heart rate, and blood pressure change in people who have had a spontaneous brain bleed. It aims to learn better ways to monitor and care for these patients to improve recovery.
This study monitors how well blood flow and brain activity are working during a brain aneurysm coiling procedure. It uses two non-invasive devices (one near your forehead and one on your arm or finger) to help guide anesthesia and track your brain's health during surgery.
This study tests if starting gentle movement and physical therapy early can help people who have had a brain bleed from an aneurysm. It focuses on patients who are stable enough to get out of bed with assistance.
