Clinical Trial: A Non-invasive Intracranial Pressure (nICP) Monitoring System
Study Status: Completed
Recruit Status: Completed
Condition:
Traumatic Brain Injury
Intracranial Hypertension
Study Type: Interventional
Official Title: A Pilot Study to Estimate Intracranial Pressure Noninvasively in Traumatic Brain Injury Patients
Brief Summary:
Researchers have developed a probe that contains infrared light sources that can illuminate the deep brain tissue of the frontal lobe. Photodetectors in the probe detect the backscattered light, which is modulated by pulsation of the cerebral arteries. Changes in the extramural arterial pressure affect the morphology of the recorded optical pulse, so analysis of the acquired signal using an appropriate algorithm could enable the calculation of the intracranial pressure noninvasively (nICP), which would be…
