- NCT06988787Recruiting
A program to help female veterans build resilience and reduce risk
This study tests a program designed to help female veterans who have experienced intimate partner violence or military sexual trauma and have some symptoms of PTSD. The program aims to improve emotional regulation and overall well-being.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06966713Recruiting
Predicting recovery after severe brain injury
This study looks at patients with severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) who already need brain pressure or oxygen monitoring. Doctors want to see if certain tests can help predict how well someone might recover.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06828107Recruiting
Testing a device to detect traumatic brain injury
This study tests a new device called SENSE to see if it can detect traumatic brain injury (TBI) quickly. You may qualify if you have a TBI with bleeding seen on a CT scan, or if you are a healthy volunteer without brain problems.
Houston, TexasAges 22 years+ - NCT05951777RecruitingPhase 2
Stem cells from your own fat for chronic brain injury
This trial tests whether stem cells taken from your own fat and given through an IV can help people with long-term brain damage from a head injury. It is for adults who have not gotten better with standard treatments.
Houston, TexasAges 18–55 - NCT05826912Enrolling by invitationPhase 2
Testing new treatment for acute brain injury after a fall or hit
This study tests an investigational treatment to improve outcomes after a recent non-penetrating traumatic brain injury (like a fall or car crash). It uses early CT/MRI imaging and a blood test soon after injury to see who benefits and how well the treatment works.
Houston, TexasAges 18–65 - NCT06370520Recruiting
Teen emotions screening after mild brain injury
This study screens teens aged 11 to 17 for emotional and mental health problems after a mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI, also called concussion or minor head injury). The goal is to find out if the hospital screening helps identify teens who may need extra support.
Houston, TexasAges 11–17 - NCT06494319Recruiting
PTSD treatment app for veterans with combat trauma
This study tests a virtual training program and mobile app to help veterans manage PTSD from combat. It aims to reduce symptoms and improve daily life.
Houston, TexasAges 18–79 - NCT02769416Enrolling by invitation
Testing new treatments for spinal cord and brain injuries
This study looks for ways to test treatments for people with spinal cord injuries and/or brain injuries. It may help researchers better understand which treatment approaches work and for whom.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT00912041Recruiting
Test of a brain-to-computer device for quadriplegia
This study tests whether a tiny brain computer interface can help people with quadriplegia (loss of movement in all four limbs) communicate or control technology. It’s mainly a feasibility study, meaning the goal is to see if the device can work safely and reliably in real life.
Houston, TexasAges 18–80 - NCT03819608Recruiting
Brain stimulation and rehab after mild concussion with PTSD or cognitive issues
This trial studies whether brain stimulation plus targeted brain rehabilitation can improve symptoms after a mild concussion (mTBI). You may be invited if your concussion happened at least 3 months ago and your symptoms are affecting thinking or mood, with or without PTSD.
Houston, TexasAges 18–80 - NCT04867317RecruitingPhase 3
Growth hormone treatment for veterans with mild TBI and deficiency
This Phase 3 study tests whether replacing growth hormone in veterans with mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) and low adult growth hormone can improve quality of life. If you qualify, you’ll be screened with hormone blood tests and memory/mental health checks before starting treatment.
Houston, TexasAges 21–55 - NCT05889650Recruiting
External drainage for severe TBI brain swelling
This study tests whether placing an external drainage tube in the lower back can reduce dangerous pressure in the brain after a severe traumatic brain injury. If you meet safety and brain-scan criteria, it may help the research team understand whether this approach is safe early after injury.
Houston, TexasAges 18–65 - NCT06723743Recruiting
Nerve stimulation for attention and memory
This study tests if a gentle, non-invasive nerve stimulation device can help improve attention and memory in veterans with PTSD, depression, or mild brain injury. It uses a small device on the ear to stimulate a nerve that may influence brain function.
Houston, TexasAges 25–64 - NCT07493096Recruiting
Intensive therapy program for children with brain-based conditions
This trial tests an intensive therapy program designed to help children with brain-based conditions like cerebral palsy or autism improve their skills in movement, thinking, and daily activities. The program runs for 2 weeks with daily sessions, and researchers will check for changes in your child's abilities.
The Woodlands, TexasAges 4–12 - NCT06607523Recruiting
Prebiotic treatment for brain injury recovery
This study tests whether a prebiotic (a type of fiber that feeds healthy gut bacteria) can improve recovery from a brain injury by helping the connection between the gut and the brain. Participants include people with a recent brain injury and their family members or staff, all of whom are part of the Moody Neurorehabilitation Institute community.

What taking part in a brain injuries study involves
A screening visit first
Before anything else, the study team checks whether you fit — usually a visit with some tests. You can stop at any point, and screening is typically free.
Care at a nearby site
Study visits happen at a clinic or hospital taking part. Many studies cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits, and some reimburse travel.
You stay in control
Taking part is voluntary and you can leave a study at any time, for any reason, without affecting your regular care.
The team decides eligibility
Our fit check is a helpful first read, not a decision. The study team makes the final call after reviewing your health history.
