New brain monitor could help ICU patients stay calm and aware
NCT ID NCT06718764
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study is testing a new, non-invasive brain monitor (Neurosteer) in 100 ICU patients who are on breathing machines and sedatives. The monitor is a small device placed on the forehead that measures brain activity. Researchers want to see if it can accurately track levels of sedation, agitation, and delirium compared to standard methods. The goal is to improve how doctors manage these conditions in the ICU.
