Brain monitoring and nerve stimulation after brain hemorrhage
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You have been diagnosed with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (a burst artery in the brain) confirmed by imaging
- You are admitted to the Neuroscience Intensive Care Unit at UT Southwestern's Clements Hospital
- You have a drain in your brain (EVD) with continuous pressure monitoring, or you're willing to participate in other parts of the study without this drain
- A small sensor can be safely placed on your head without interfering with bandages or other equipment
- You can understand and communicate in English

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 trial studies whether a noninvasive device that stimulates the vagus nerve can be safely given soon after a ruptured aneurysm bleed to improve outcomes. It may help calm the brain’s stress response after this type of stroke-like emergency.
This study uses a light-based device (near-infrared spectroscopy) placed on the forehead to continuously monitor blood flow in the brain for people with a type of stroke called aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage. It may help doctors detect changes in blood flow more quickly, without needing extra procedures.
This trial tests whether a gentle nerve stimulation device (tVNS) applied to the ear is safe and practical for patients recovering from a specific type of brain bleed. It aims to see if this non-invasive treatment might help recovery after the aneurysm is repaired.
This trial tests if a nerve stimulation device can prevent a dangerous blood vessel spasm after a brain aneurysm bleed. It may help reduce damage and improve recovery.
This trial tests a gentle electrical ear stimulation device (taVNS) to see if it helps people recover after a recent brain bleed. It is for adults who had a specific type of bleed within the last 3 days and are generally stable otherwise.
