Who this trial is looking for

This trial is looking for patients who have had a traumatic brain injury and may need surgery to help monitor their brain pressure. Participants will have special devices placed to help doctors understand how their brain is functioning after the injury.

Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?

You may be able to join if

  • I have been recommended for a procedure to monitor brain pressure after a traumatic brain injury.

You may not be able to join if

  • I have contaminated scalp cuts.
  • I have a known systemic infection.
  • I do not speak English.
  • I have a fixed, uncorrectable bleeding disorder.
