Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

To design and create wearable head protection to be worn on a patient's head following a neurosurgical procedure (namely craniectomy and craniotomy

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

After being given informed consent, all participants will undergo the fitting and trial of a specially designed head protection for 6 weeks. Week 1 participants will be assessed and clinical data obtained on participants condition with the head protection fitted during the same session. Participants will return after 3 weeks for review and adjustment and again at the 6 week interval where they will also be given a questionnaire to fill up regarding their use and comfort.
