Eye ultrasound could speed up brain swelling detection
NCT ID NCT07332234
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study is testing whether a simple ultrasound of the optic nerve can quickly detect brain swelling and inflammation in ICU patients with conditions like meningitis, encephalitis, or stroke. Researchers will measure the optic nerve sheath diameter in 200 adults and compare it with standard tests. If accurate, this painless, low-cost method could help doctors make faster treatment decisions.

What this could lead to
If successful, this could provide a quick, safe, and low-cost bedside tool to detect brain swelling and inflammation, helping doctors make faster treatment decisions.
What could go wrong
This is an early diagnostic study, not a treatment trial. The ultrasound method may not be accurate enough to replace current standard tests, and results may vary by patient condition.
