Pupil response tracking for ICU patients' recovery
This study tracks how your pupils react to light over time while you are in the ICU, to see if those changes relate to how you recover. It is a simple, non-invasive way to help doctors better predict outcomes for critically ill patients.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older.
- You must be a patient in an intensive care unit (ICU) and expected to stay there for more than 48 hours.
- You must be able to provide consent yourself or have a family member who can do it for you.
- You must not have severe eye problems, eye surgery, or conditions that prevent checking your pupil response.
- You must not be pregnant or breastfeeding.

This study collects normal (baseline) results from a handheld eye pupil camera (a pupillometer) used during routine neuro–intensive care checks. It may help clinicians better interpret these eye measurements in future patients.
This study looks at how different breathing machine settings affect the pupil's response to light. Because pupil response can show how the nervous system is doing, this could help doctors better monitor and care for patients on ventilators.
This study compares two ways to measure pain in intensive care patients who are on a breathing machine and cannot speak. One method uses the size of the pupil, and the other uses a standard pain scale. The goal is to find a better way to give pain medicine.
This study checks how well a device can measure how your pupils respond to colored light. It may help improve eye testing, especially when monitoring certain vision and nerve conditions.
This study aims to objectively measure how your pupils respond to light and how your eye muscles react using recording tests. It may help confirm the cause of light sensitivity (especially after a brain injury) and better track how it responds to care.
This study looks at how your pupils react to light in healthy people. It may help doctors understand normal eye responses, which could improve future eye tests.
