Non-Invasive Brain Pressure Monitoring Study
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You can make your own medical decisions.
- You are having brain surgery that uses special medication to reduce swelling, or
- You get regular spinal taps (lumbar punctures) as part of your care, or
- You have a VP shunt (a tube in your brain) that needs its drainage settings changed.

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 tests a new sensor that measures brain pressure from outside the head. It is for people who are already in the hospital getting their brain pressure and blood pressure monitored continuously.
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 tests a new, non-invasive way to check for increased pressure inside the skull in people with suspected stroke or head injury while they are being transported by ambulance. The goal is to see if this method can help emergency teams identify who needs urgent treatment sooner.
This trial tests a non-invasive way to measure pressure inside the skull during brain tumor surgery. If it works, patients may avoid more invasive pressure monitors.
This trial tests a new, non-invasive way to monitor pressure inside the skull for people with traumatic brain injury. It compares the new device to the standard invasive method already being used in your care.
