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.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 tests a new way to manage brain pressure after a severe head injury. The goal is to improve blood flow to the brain, which may help recovery.
This study tests a new non-invasive sensor to monitor brain pressure and explores a nerve stimulation technique that might help recovery after bleeding on the brain from a ruptured aneurysm. It aims to see if these approaches are safe and could improve outcomes.
This study tests a non-invasive device that measures pressure inside the skull (intracranial pressure) without needing surgery, to help doctors treat people with brain injuries or strokes in busy emergency rooms. The goal is to see if this simpler monitoring can improve care and outcomes.
This study tests a new, non-invasive device (brain4care) that measures pressure inside the skull without needing a needle or surgery. It is being used in ambulances to help emergency teams quickly detect high pressure in the brain caused by a stroke or head injury.
