Non-invasive pressure monitoring in brain tumor surgery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Cancer clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 21 years or older
- You are scheduled for surgery to remove a brain tumor
- Your tumor has been confirmed by an MRI or CT scan
- You are in stable enough health for anesthesia (ASA class II to IV)
- You do not have eye conditions like glaucoma that affect the optic nerve
- You have not had a head injury, brain surgery, or a spinal tap in the last 2 weeks

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 is for people having kidney stone surgery. It looks at how the position you are in during surgery affects the nerve sheath around your eye, which may help doctors monitor pressure in the brain.
This trial tests if measuring the optic nerve sheath (the lining around the eye nerve) can help track pressure in the brain after a head injury, especially when patients need a medicine called mannitol to reduce swelling. It may help doctors make better decisions for patients with traumatic brain injury.
This study uses a painless eye ultrasound to measure pressure inside your skull after brain tumor surgery. It may help doctors better monitor recovery without extra procedures.
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.
