Light-based monitoring for traumatic brain injury
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Cancer, Immune system & allergy, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests if a special light device (near-infrared spectroscopy) can safely monitor brain injury patients in intensive care. It aims to see how well it tracks oxygen and blood flow after a head trauma.

This trial tests special cameras and sensors that check your brain without surgery. It may help doctors watch for brain swelling and other problems more safely.
This trial is testing a new way to monitor pressure inside the skull without surgery, using a small sensor placed on the head. It aims to help emergency doctors quickly decide on the best treatment for people with traumatic brain injury or stroke.
This study looks at patients with severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) who already need brain pressure or oxygen monitoring. Doctors want to see if certain tests can help predict how well someone might recover.
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 trial tests a bedside brain-monitoring method (near-infrared light and EEG) in people who are unconscious after severe brain injury from cardiac arrest. The goal is to see whether it can help measure brain function during the first week after admission.
This study tests a special monitoring approach for people with severe traumatic brain injury who are not opening their eyes or following commands. The goal is to see if close watching and coordinated care can improve recovery.
