Summary
This study looked at a new way to monitor brain activity in people with traumatic brain injury (TBI). Researchers tested special electrodes placed on the brain or scalp to detect spreading depolarizations—waves of brain cell activity that can cause damage. The goal was to develop less invasive monitoring methods to help doctors manage TBI better. The study involved 147 adults in intensive care.
