ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying ways to measure pressure inside the brain without using invasive tools in people who have had a head injury. Normally, doctors measure this pressure by placing a device inside the head, which can be uncomfortable and carries some risks. This study will look at three non-invasive methods using bedside ultrasound—special scans that don’t require surgery—to see how well they can detect high brain pressure compared to the traditional invasive method. The goal is to find easier and safer ways to monitor patients after a head injury.

The trial is open to adults aged 65 to 74 who have experienced a head injury and need an invasive pressure monitor placed as part of their care. If you join, you will have several ultrasound tests done at the same time as the invasive monitor is in place, so doctors can compare the results. This study is not yet enrolling participants but aims to help improve how doctors check brain pressure in the future, potentially making it safer and more comfortable for patients.
