What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting This study
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 Results may not be published yet.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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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

This study tests whether a simple, bedside ultrasound measuring the optic nerve sheath diameter can accurately detect raised intracranial pressure in children aged 6-12 who have experienced a traumatic brain injury. The ultrasound results will be compared with brain CT findings, which are the current standard for indirect pressure assessment. If the ultrasound proves reliable, it could offer a faster, safer, and more accessible way to monitor these young patients, especially in emergency settings.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Bedside optic nerve sheath diameter ultrasonography (a non-invasive ultrasound measurement of the optic nerve sheath)
What this could lead to
If proven accurate, this quick, radiation-free bedside test could help doctors spot dangerously high brain pressure in children with head injuries faster and more safely, especially in emergency and intensive care settings.
What could go wrong
This is a single-center study with 100 children, and it compares ultrasound against CT findings, not the gold-standard invasive pressure monitors. The technique's accuracy may vary with operator skill and may not replace CT in all cases.

Show the full entry requirements

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * 1\. Children aged 6-12 years. 2. Patients presenting within 24 hours of traumatic brain injury. 3. Patients undergoing brain CT based on emergency department and neurosurgical assessment. 4\. Patients with traumatic brain injury of any severity, as assessed by the Paediatric Glasgow Coma Scale (PGCS). 5\. Haemodynamically stable patients who can undergo ocular ultrasonography. Exclusion Criteria: * 1\. Orbital fractures, globe rupture, extensive periorbital oedema preventing right ONSD measurement. 2\. Earlier intracranial surgery or ventriculoperitoneal shunt. 3. Known congenital or got neurological disorders associated with altered intracranial pressure (e.g., hydrocephalus or intracranial tumours). 4\. Patients transferred after receiving osmotherapy before the initial ONSD measurement.
