New method to measure skull pressure using an eye vein
Part of Brain & nervous system, Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This study tests a new way to measure pressure inside the skull by using a small vein near your eye. It is for people who are already having a routine test to check fluid pressure around the brain.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are already scheduled for a test that checks the fluid pressure around your brain and spine (called a CSF dynamic test).
- You are between 18 and 95 years old.
- You have not had any surgery to drain fluid from your brain or spine (like a shunt).
- You have not had a serious brain injury or brain damage in the last 6 months.
- You do not have any condition that affects the veins in your eye socket.

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 study uses eye scans to see if changes in the retina can help doctors measure pressure inside the skull. It may help find a safer way to check for high pressure in the brain without needing a needle in the back.
This study checks whether placing a small tube in a neck vein changes pressure inside the skull or blood flow in the brain. It uses a simple eye ultrasound to measure these changes during surgery, which could help doctors watch for brain pressure issues safely.
This study is testing a new way to measure pressure inside the skull without needing a separate procedure. It may be an option for people having brain surgery, getting spinal taps, or needing their VP shunt adjusted.
This study uses a special video exam of your eyes to record patterns that may relate to brain pressure changes. It may help researchers find a safer, non-contact way to monitor pressure inside the skull.
This study tests a non-invasive way to monitor pressure inside the skull during brain tumor surgery. It may help guide treatment without the need for invasive monitors.
