Subscalp heart monitor for brain surgery patients
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests a small heart monitor placed under the scalp during brain surgery to see if it can safely track heart rhythms. It may help doctors monitor patients more closely after surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study monitors your heart rate and brain waves during and after brain surgery to see if they can help doctors predict how well you will recover. It aims to improve care for future patients.
This study uses special brain recordings done during electrode implantation to better understand brain activity in people whose symptoms are hard to control with medications. The goal is to help doctors improve how they evaluate and treat certain brain or nerve conditions.
This study tests a new way to monitor blood flow to the brain during heart surgery. The goal is to see if this can help protect the brain and reduce thinking problems after surgery.
This study watches how your brain and body respond during major surgery using special sensors on your forehead. It is observational, meaning it doesn't change your treatment, but helps doctors learn how to better monitor patients like you during high-risk operations.
This study uses special brain monitoring during heart surgery to see if it can help predict and prevent strokes. If you are having heart surgery and have certain risk factors like diabetes or a history of stroke, this trial might be a good fit for you.
This study tests a new, softer brain electrode that is placed during surgery to help doctors monitor brain activity. It is for people having brain surgery for a tumour or epilepsy, and aims to improve how these electrodes work while being safer and less invasive.
