Needle-Free brain pressure test for kids hits snag before starting
NCT ID NCT07550361
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study aimed to see if a handheld device called CPMX3 could safely estimate brain pressure in children by measuring pressure in a forehead vein. It planned to compare these readings with standard invasive measurements in children aged 8 to 21 who already had brain pressure monitors. However, the study was withdrawn before any participants were enrolled, so no conclusions can be drawn.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
CPMX3 measurement device
What this could lead to
If it had worked, this could have led to a safer, non-invasive way to measure brain pressure in children, avoiding the need for surgery.
What could go wrong
The study was withdrawn before enrolling anyone, so no data was collected. Even if it had proceeded, it was a small feasibility study, so results would have been very preliminary.
