Brain pressure monitor could boost recovery after major bleed

NCT ID NCT05593380

First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026

Summary

This study looked at whether using a device to measure pressure inside the skull helps doctors treat people with a large brain bleed. 193 patients were randomly assigned to get either standard care or care guided by the pressure monitor. The goal was to see if the monitor helped more patients recover with less disability after 90 days.

Active substance
intracranial pressure monitor (device)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that using a brain pressure monitor helps doctors make better treatment decisions, improving recovery and reducing disability after a large brain bleed.
What could go wrong
This is a completed trial with 193 patients, but it's still a relatively small study. The results may not apply to all patients, and the device itself carries a small risk of infection or bleeding during placement.
