Brain wave monitor may spot dialysis danger
NCT ID NCT03276273
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether a device that measures brain waves (called BIS) can detect dialysis disequilibrium syndrome, a complication that can occur during first-time dialysis. Twenty new dialysis patients will be monitored during their first three sessions. The goal is to see if BIS readings change in a way that signals the condition, potentially offering a faster, more objective detection method than current clinical checks.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
What this could lead to
If successful, this could provide a simple, objective way to detect a common complication of dialysis early.
What could go wrong
This is a very small, early study (20 people) looking at a monitoring device, not a treatment. It may not prove accurate enough for routine use.
