Non-invasive brain monitoring for neurocritical patients
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests a new, non-invasive way to monitor how well the brain regulates its own blood flow in critically ill patients. It may help doctors better manage brain swelling and pressure after a stroke or brain bleed, without extra pain or risk.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are at least 18 years old.
- You have a recent stroke, brain bleed, or bleeding around the brain and are in the intensive care unit.
- You are already having routine monitoring of pressure inside the skull and blood pressure.
- Your legal guardian or family member agrees in writing to let you participate.
- You do not have severe scalp damage, metal implants in the head, or a history of brain surgery that would interfere with the monitoring stickers.
- You are not pregnant, and your condition is not expected to be fatal within 24 hours.
- You can be monitored for at least 2 hours continuously.

This study tests a non-invasive device that measures pressure inside the skull (intracranial pressure) without needing surgery, to help doctors treat people with brain injuries or strokes in busy emergency rooms. The goal is to see if this simpler monitoring can improve care and outcomes.
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.
This trial monitors brain activity with special electrodes after a severe head injury. It aims to understand how the brain recovers by watching the electrical signals, which might help improve treatment for brain pressure.
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 tests a new, non-invasive way to monitor pressure inside the skull for people with traumatic brain injury. It compares the new device to the standard invasive method already being used in your care.
This study tests a new, less invasive method using electrical impedance tomography (EIT) to monitor blood flow in the lungs compared to the standard pulmonary artery catheter. It might help doctors manage your care with fewer risks.
