Monitoring brain pressure without surgery in brain tumor patients
Part of Brain & nervous system, Cancer clinical trials.
This study tests a non-invasive way to monitor pressure inside the skull during brain tumor surgery. It may help guide treatment without the need for invasive monitors.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are at least 21 years old.
- You are scheduled to have brain tumor removal surgery.
- You have an ASA physical status of II to IV (meaning you have mild to severe systemic disease).
- You do not have any pre-existing eye conditions that affect the optic nerve (like glaucoma or thyroid eye disease).
- You have not had head trauma, brain surgery, or a spinal tap within the last 2 weeks.
- You have no history of bleeding in the brain (subarachnoid hemorrhage) and no serious blood disorders or cancers that could affect your life expectancy.

This study uses eye scans to see if changes in the retina can help doctors measure pressure inside the skull. It may help find a safer way to check for high pressure in the brain without needing a needle in the back.
This study uses a special video exam of your eyes to record patterns that may relate to brain pressure changes. It may help researchers find a safer, non-contact way to monitor pressure inside the skull.
This study looks at how different breathing settings during surgery affect pressure inside the brain for people having planned (non-emergency) brain surgery. It may help doctors choose safer ways to manage breathing during your procedure.
This study checks if ultrasound measurements of the optic nerve sheath can help guide treatment for brain swelling after a head injury. It aims to make treatments safer and more effective for patients with traumatic brain 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 trial tests non-invasive monitoring tools during brain surgery to track brain pressure and function. It may help doctors improve patient safety during operations.
