Study Summary

This trial studies the effects of ultrasound on the skull to treat brain injury. It's a real-world study, with open results.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for men and women aged 18 or older who are undergoing reconstructive sonolucent cranioplasty as standard care. Participants must be willing to follow study procedures and be available for the entire study duration. Pregnant individuals cannot participate.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial is observing how transcranial ultrasound works when used through a sonolucent (sound-transparent) material during cranioplasty, which is skull reconstruction surgery. It's an open-label study, meaning everyone knows what treatment they're getting.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial focuses on observation of transcranial ultrasound in a surgical setting rather than testing a new drug, specific side effects related to medications are not detailed here.
