Study Summary

This trial is testing whether a new way of measuring and recording brain activity can help predict and treat a type of brain injury.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for patients who need a procedure called EVD placement to monitor and possibly treat high brain pressure after a traumatic brain injury. It's not for those with systemic infections, non-English speakers, uncorrectable blood clotting disorders, or contaminated scalp wounds.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study is testing the use of depth electrodes to detect Cortical Spreading Depolarization (CSD), which are waves of brain activity that may occur after a traumatic brain injury and require neurosurgical intervention.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

While specific side effects aren't listed, depth electrode insertion can potentially cause discomfort at the site of implantation, risk of infection, bleeding in the brain, or seizures.
