Non-invasive brain pressure monitoring and nerve stimulation for bleeding on the brain
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests a new non-invasive sensor to monitor brain pressure and explores a nerve stimulation technique that might help recovery after bleeding on the brain from a ruptured aneurysm. It aims to see if these approaches are safe and could improve outcomes.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older and have been diagnosed with a specific type of brain bleed (aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage).
- You are admitted to the intensive care unit at the study hospital (Clements University Hospital).
- You or your legal representative can agree to take part in English.
- For one part, a small sensor must be able to be placed on your head (in a spot not blocked by bandages or equipment).
- For a second part (optional), your doctor must have performed a successful test clamping of your external ventricular drain (a tube that relieves pressure in the brain).

This study uses special monitors to watch brain activity and other vital signs in adults admitted to the neurosurgery intensive care unit (NSICU). The goal is to learn more about how the brain is doing and could help doctors provide better care.
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 trial uses a special light-based sensor (near-infrared spectroscopy) to monitor blood flow in the brain continuously after a bleeding stroke (subarachnoid hemorrhage). The goal is to improve early detection of reduced blood flow, which could help prevent complications.
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 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 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.
