NCT ID NCT07541612
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a non-invasive light sensor placed on the back to monitor blood flow to the spinal cord during major aortic surgery. The goal is to see if it can quickly detect problems that could lead to paralysis. About 120 adults having planned aortic repair will take part. If successful, this tool could help doctors act faster to prevent spinal cord injury.
