Eye vein test could replace risky brain pressure monitoring
NCT ID NCT07222826
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests a device called CPMX3 that measures pressure in a small vein near the eye to estimate pressure inside the skull. Currently, measuring brain pressure requires surgery to place a probe inside the head, which carries risks like infection and bleeding. The trial will enroll 15 people who already have an invasive monitor in place, comparing the new device's readings to the standard method to see if it is safe and accurate.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- CPMX3 device
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could provide a safe, non-invasive way to measure pressure inside the skull, reducing the need for risky brain surgery.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very small, early safety and feasibility study with only 15 participants. The device may not prove accurate enough to replace current invasive methods.
