Non-invasive pressure monitoring for brain injury or stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 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 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 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 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 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.
