Electrocorticographic Monitoring of Brain Retraction Injury (EMBRI)

Recruiting now · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Brain Injury, Neurosurgery, Brain Ischemia

In brief

A single centre IDEAL Stage 1 feasibility study using novel electrophysiological recording techniques in adult participants undergoing neurosurgery. This is a first in human study, building upon previous preclinical mice experiments. Participants will undergo their planned neurosurgical procedure as normal. In addition to their standard treatment neurophysiological monitoring including an electrocorticography electrode placed on the brain deep to the retractor will be used to monitor for signs of brain retraction injury.
