Robot brain scanner could personalize blood pressure after spine surgery
NCT ID NCT06565442
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jul 28, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This study tests whether a robot called NeuraSignal can measure blood flow in the brain of patients recovering from spinal surgery. The goal is to create personalized blood pressure targets for each patient. The study will include 20 adults in the neuro ICU. It is a feasibility study, meaning it checks if the robot works in this setting, not whether it improves health.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- NeuraSignal transcranial doppler robot
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could lead to a new way to personalize blood pressure management for patients after spinal surgery, potentially improving recovery.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very small, early feasibility study with only 20 people. It only tests if the robot can work in this setting, not if it improves outcomes. The robot may not be practical or accurate enough.
