  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: Adults that have intracranial pathology requiring either EVD or bolt placement for measuring ICP.

Who may be able to join

  • Age greater than or equal to 18 years old
  • Intracranial pathology requiring either EVD or bolt placement for ICP measurement

Who cannot join

  • Known disorder of lens or orbit including but not limited to glaucoma, cataract, blindness, lens implants.

About this study

Official title: Comparative Analysis of Pupilometer and Ultrasound Assessment of Optic Nerve Sheath Diameter in Estimating Intracranial Pressure (ICP)

The purpose of this investigator-initiated study is to compare the use of pupilometer and ultrasound assessment of optic nerve sheath diameter in predicting the ICP and to see if there is a value that could be used to indicate elevated ICP with either modality as these numbers are inconsistent throughout the literature. Patients that have either an external ventricular drain (EVD) or bolt placed will be enrolled in the study. After the EVD and bolt are placed the patient will undergo pupilometer examination (standard of care) followed by ultrasound assessment of the optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD). The three values will be recorded. The same patient may have multiple readings performed if there is a change in ICP either spontaneously or due to intervention.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • UltrasoundDevice

    Type of imaging technology to look at organs and structures inside the body

  • PupilometerDevice

    A device that measures pupil size and how it changes.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Measurement of Optic Nerve Sheath Diameter (ONSD) and corresponding intracranial pressure (ICP).

    Analysis of varying ONSD and pupillometer readings to concurrent ICP

    Measured: 1 day of ONSD examination

Secondary outcomes (1)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Intracranial Hemorrhages and Brain Injuries, run by Loma Linda University at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 2 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 26 Oct 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Measurement of Optic Nerve Sheath Diameter (ONSD) and corresponding intracranial pressure (ICP). (time frame: 1 day of ONSD examination). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03115450, which also lists 8 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 26 Oct 2021.
