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 However, the study was withdrawn before any participants were enrolled, so no conclusions can be drawn.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- The study was withdrawn before enrolling anyone, so no data was collected.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.
