What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

Researchers are studying whether three non-invasive monitoring tools can detect neurological deterioration early in patients recovering from planned brain surgery. The tools are transcranial doppler, which measures blood flow in brain arteries; optic nerve ultrasound, which measures the nerve sheath; and quantitative pupillometry, which measures pupil responses to light. About 230 French-speaking adults scheduled for intracranial surgery will be monitored before surgery and regularly for four days afterward. The goal is to see how these measurements change and whether they could help doctors catch problems sooner.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
non-invasive neuromonitoring using transcranial doppler, optic nerve ultrasound, and quantitative pupillometry
What this could lead to
If it works, this could give doctors a simple, bedside way to catch neurological problems early after brain surgery, before they become serious.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, so it cannot prove that monitoring improves outcomes. The measurements may not reliably predict complications, and results may not apply to other types of brain surgery or patients.
