Brain monitoring study for intensive care patients
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study observes how doctors monitor brain activity in patients admitted to a neurological intensive care unit. Researchers will use special sensors to measure brain waves and other brain functions to better understand how to care for critically ill patients.

This study tests two things: a new sensor that monitors brain pressure without surgery, and a procedure that stimulates a nerve in your neck to help your body recover. It's designed for patients admitted to the hospital with a specific type of brain bleed caused by a burst blood vessel.
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 observes how a special brain-monitoring device (placed on your forehead) tracks your brain activity during major surgery. Researchers want to understand how this monitoring helps keep patients safe during high-risk procedures like spine, heart, liver, or abdominal surgery.
This study uses a special monitoring system to closely watch patients in the neurologic intensive care unit. It may help doctors better understand and treat brain injuries.
This study is testing a new way to predict recovery for people with serious brain injuries in the ICU. It uses continuous brain monitoring to gather more information and help doctors make better treatment decisions.
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.
