Summary

This study is testing whether a special electrode placed deep in the brain can detect harmful electrical waves called cortical spreading depolarizations (CSDs) after a traumatic brain injury (TBI). These waves are linked to worse outcomes, but are hard to spot with standard monitoring. The study will enroll 15 people who already need a drain placed in their brain for pressure monitoring. The goal is to see if this new method works, not to provide a treatment.
