Measuring brain blood flow with light in healthy adults
This study uses a safe, non-invasive light-based technique called near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) to measure blood flow and oxygen in the brain. It aims to test a new monitoring device in healthy volunteers aged 20 to 40 to make sure it works correctly.

This study measures blood flow in small areas of the brain to see if it can help detect cerebrovascular disease. It includes people recovering from a stroke and healthy volunteers, and may help improve future diagnosis.
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 trial uses a near-infrared light device (NIRS) to monitor blood flow in the new tissue after free flap surgery for head and neck cancer. It helps doctors check that the flap is healing well.
This study looks at a new way to monitor blood flow in tiny blood vessels during liver transplant surgery. It may help doctors better understand how well blood is reaching tissues during the operation.
