SUBARACHNOID HEMORRHAGE

This study tests whether using a special bladder catheter that continuously measures body temperature can help guide treatment and improve recovery in people with severe brain bleeding. About 318 participants will be randomly assigned to either continuous bladder temperature moni…

This study tests whether giving patients electrical muscle stimulation and high-protein shakes soon after a type of stroke (aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage) can prevent muscle loss and improve recovery. Thirty adults will receive the combo therapy or standard care. The main go…

This study looks at 320 adults who had a brain bleed (subarachnoid hemorrhage) to see if the type of IV fluid they receive affects their recovery. The goal is to find out if a fluid with a specific salt content can reduce dangerous complications like blood vessel spasms and brain…

This study tests whether a non-invasive device that gently stimulates a nerve in the ear can reduce inflammation and improve recovery in people who have had a spontaneous brain bleed (subarachnoid hemorrhage). Fifty participants will receive either real or sham stimulation. Resea…

This study tests a device called IRRAflow that continuously washes out blood from the brain after a hemorrhage. It involves 250 adults with brain bleeds and compares the device to standard drainage. The goal is to see if it clears blood faster and improves recovery at 6 months.

After brain surgery, many patients need a breathing machine in the ICU. This study will follow 220 such patients to see how the natural bacteria in their lungs change over time. Researchers will collect airway samples and use advanced lab tests to link those changes to the risk o…

This study tests a new set of procedures called the HI-SPEED Protocol, designed to help hospitals evaluate stroke patients faster and decide who needs to be transferred for advanced care. The goal is to reduce the time patients spend in the first hospital before being moved to a …

This study is testing a new, non-invasive brain monitor (Neurosteer) in 100 ICU patients who are on breathing machines and sedatives. The monitor is a small device placed on the forehead that measures brain activity. Researchers want to see if it can accurately track levels of se…

This study looks at whether filtering out blue light at night in hospital rooms can reduce inflammation, protect thinking skills, and improve mood and sleep in 80 adults having elective heart surgery. Participants will be randomly assigned to wear blue-blocking glasses or regular…

This study is gathering information from 4500 people who have or will have brain surgery for conditions like aneurysms, tumors, epilepsy, and Parkinson's disease. The goal is to find patterns that help doctors predict how well someone will recover. By standardizing how outcomes a…

This study looks at adults with serious brain injuries from stroke, trauma, or bleeding who need a breathing machine. Researchers want to see if certain machine settings are linked to how severe the brain injury is. About 19 people will take part, and no new treatments are being …

This study looks at whether giving antibiotics for just 24 hours around the time of placing a special antibiotic-coated brain drain works as well as giving them for the whole time the drain is in place. The goal is to find the best way to prevent serious brain infections in peopl…

This study looks at blood markers related to inflammation and clotting in people with brain oxygen deprivation from stroke or bleeding. Researchers will compare these markers between patients with brain hypoxia and those without. The goal is to see if these markers are linked to …

This pilot study will test whether a stellate ganglion nerve block—a procedure used for chronic pain—can improve blood flow in the tiny vessels of the eye. Researchers will use a special camera (OCTA) to scan the retinas of 50 adults before and after the block. The goal is to see…

This study follows 8,000 adults who have had a stroke to learn why some develop memory and thinking problems afterward. Researchers will track changes in cognition, brain scans, and blood samples over time. The goal is to help doctors identify who is at risk for dementia and pave…

This study is building a large registry of people who have had a stroke and still have symptoms. The goal is to connect them with researchers studying new ways to improve recovery. No treatments or tests are given—just observation and data collection.

This study is testing a new monitor that tracks brain pressure over time in patients with serious brain injuries like trauma or bleeding. Researchers want to see if the pressure measurements can predict who will survive or recover well. The study will enroll 250 adults and follow…
