Could a tiny pin on the head replace brain surgery for pressure monitoring?
NCT ID NCT07113353
First seen Nov 19, 2025 · Last updated Jun 23, 2026 · Updated 22 times
Summary
This study is testing a new device that measures pressure inside the skull without needing surgery. The device uses a small pin on the head to detect tiny skull movements with each heartbeat. Researchers want to see if this non-invasive method can give useful information similar to the current invasive method. The study will enroll 30 adults who are already undergoing procedures that involve measuring brain pressure.

What this could lead to
If successful, this could provide a safer, simpler way to monitor brain pressure without surgery.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study focused on understanding the device's readings, not on treating any condition. It may not prove accurate enough for clinical use.
