Forehead sensor tracks brain health after stroke
NCT ID NCT06932640
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 15, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study uses a non-invasive forehead sensor to continuously monitor brain oxygen levels in 120 patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage (a type of stroke caused by bleeding around the brain). The goal is to see how the brain's ability to regulate blood flow changes over time and whether this relates to delayed brain injury. Participants will be monitored for up to 14 days in the intensive care unit.
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 help doctors better manage blood pressure in SAH patients to prevent delayed brain injury.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early observational study, not a treatment trial. It may not lead to direct patient benefits or changes in care.
