Subscalp heart monitor for brain surgery patients
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 minimally invasive device that helps doctors monitor brain activity during surgery for brain tumors or epilepsy. The device uses soft electrodes placed on the brain's surface to help surgeons work more safely and precisely.
This study observes how a special brain-monitoring device (placed on your forehead) tracks your brain activity during major surgery. Researchers want to understand how this monitoring helps keep patients safe during high-risk procedures like spine, heart, liver, or abdominal surgery.
This study tests a new way to predict delirium (sudden confusion) after heart surgery by using brain monitoring. It may help doctors detect early warning signs so they can act faster.
This study uses a special brain-wave monitor during your surgery to see if it can predict confusion or memory problems afterward. It may help you and your doctors better understand your recovery.
