Summary

This study looks at whether monitoring specific brain wave patterns (called spreading depolarizations) in real time can help doctors choose treatments to reduce these events after severe traumatic brain injury. About 72 people who need emergency brain surgery will be randomly assigned to standard care or care guided by this monitoring. The goal is to see if this approach is feasible and may reduce brain pressure and improve recovery.
