New study aims to measure hidden brain pressure to save lives
NCT ID NCT04675216
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study is for 12 adults with severe brain injuries or tumors in the back part of the brain. Doctors will place two small pressure sensors to measure pressure in both the front and back of the brain. The goal is to learn what normal and dangerous pressure levels are in the back of the brain, so doctors can make better decisions about treatment.
