Non-invasive brain pressure monitoring for emergency care
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 or older.
- You are being treated for a traumatic brain injury (a blow to the head) or a stroke (either a blocked or bleeding blood vessel in the brain).
- You (or a family member, if you are too ill to decide) must agree to take part in the study.
- You should not have had a previous brain injury or stroke, or a brain tumor, infection, or a condition called arteriovenous malformation (a tangle of blood vessels in the brain).
- There should be no open cuts or skin damage on your scalp where the sensor will be placed.
- You cannot be pregnant or have severe mental or neurological conditions that would make follow-up difficult.

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.
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.
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 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 special cameras and sensors that check your brain without surgery. It may help doctors watch for brain swelling and other problems more safely.
This study looks at how blood vessel function relates to brain blood flow in patients in intensive care with brain injuries or conditions. It aims to find better ways to monitor patients using non-invasive tools.
