Scientists test less invasive way to monitor brain injury damage
NCT ID NCT03379220
Summary
This study tested new methods to monitor harmful brain wave patterns in patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI). Researchers compared a less invasive scalp sensor (EEG) to more invasive brain surface sensors to see if the scalp method could reliably detect these damaging events. The goal was to develop better tools to monitor brain injury progression and potentially guide treatment for 147 adult patients in intensive care.
