West Orange, New JerseyAges 18–65 - NCT05885529Recruiting
Blood and CT tests after a concussion to track brain injury
This study checks whether two blood proteins (GFAP and UCH-L1) can help identify which brain spots are linked to a significant head injury after a concussion. You may be able to help by providing a blood sample and getting a CT scan as part of usual care, so doctors can better sort out injury risk.
AngersAges 18 years+ - NCT05993364Recruiting

This trial tests a treatment called EFA for people recovering from a brain injury (from trauma or stroke). It aims to help patients who are still in the early stages of recovery and can breathe on their own during the day.
Rovato, BSAges 18 years+ - NCT06058351Recruiting
Brain injury aftercare at home
This trial tests a home-based aftercare program for people with acquired brain injury (ABI). It aims to improve recovery by offering multidisciplinary support in your own home.
RotterdamAges 18 years+ - NCT06062628RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Ketamine for severe traumatic brain injury
This study tests whether a low dose of ketamine can help people with severe traumatic brain injury by reducing brain pressure and improving oxygen levels. If you have a brain monitor in place and meet safety criteria, you may be able to join.
Dallas, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06103201RecruitingPhase 1
Special MRI for Traumatic Brain Injury Recovery
This trial uses a special MRI scan to look at how your brain uses energy after a traumatic brain injury. The goal is to better understand brain healing and find new ways to help people recover.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18–80 - NCT06127459Recruiting
Virtual reality to help kids with brain injury improve thinking skills
This trial tests if virtual reality exercises can help children aged 8-12 with mild or moderate traumatic brain injury improve their attention and thinking skills. It is designed for children whose challenges were confirmed by a psychologist and who speak Finnish.
OuluAges 8–12 - NCT06146062RecruitingPhase 2
Stem cell therapy for severe traumatic brain injury
This trial tests whether a single infusion of stem cells from donated umbilical cord tissue can help calm inflammation in the brain after severe traumatic brain injury. It is for patients aged 18–50 who need brain pressure monitoring and are not responding to verbal commands 5 days after sedation is stopped.
ClamartAges 18–50 - NCT06184295Recruiting
Robotic balance training for better balance after brain injury
This study tests whether training on a robotic device can help improve balance and posture for people who had a traumatic brain injury (TBI) within the last 6 months to 5 years. It may help if you have some balance issues and can stand without support for 5 minutes.
West Orange, New JerseyAges 18–65 - NCT06282965RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Angiotensin (1-7) for moderate to severe brain injury
This study tests a drug called Angiotensin (1-7) to see if it helps people recover from moderate to severe traumatic brain injury. It may reduce damage and improve healing when given shortly after the injury.
Tucson, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06426615Recruiting
Understanding brain signals in unresponsive states after injury
This study looks at brain activity in people who are unresponsive after a brain injury. It uses advanced brain scans to see if there are hidden signs of consciousness, which could help doctors better understand and care for these patients.
Leuven, Vlaams-BrabantAges 18 years+ - NCT06581003RecruitingPhase 3
Hyperbaric oxygen for veterans with lasting brain injury symptoms
This trial tests whether breathing pure oxygen inside a pressurized chamber (hyperbaric oxygen therapy) can help reduce long-term symptoms after a mild or moderate traumatic brain injury. It is for veterans and service members who have had a TBI at least one year ago and are still struggling with symptoms.
Tampa, FloridaAges 18–75 - NCT06604000Recruiting
Goal management training for cognitive control after brain injury
This trial tests a training program called Goal Management Training (GMT) to help people who have had a brain injury improve their ability to plan, focus, and stay organized. If you have trouble with these skills and your injury happened at least a year ago, this training might help you get better at everyday tasks.
TrondheimAges 18–65 - NCT06734026Recruiting
Enriched environment rehab for chronic brain injury
This study tests a rich, supportive environment (including exercise, social activities, and cognitive tasks) to help people with chronic brain injury improve their mobility and overall function. If you have a brain injury that happened more than 3 months ago and can stand with support, you may be able to join a program that focuses on your recovery.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT06790979Recruiting
Sleep patterns and recovery after traumatic brain injury
This study uses a wearable device to track sleep patterns in people who have had a traumatic brain injury (TBI). It aims to see how sleep relates to recovery, which could help improve care after a head injury.
Yinchuan, NingxiaAges 18–60 - NCT06816199Recruiting
Hyperbaric oxygen for traumatic brain injury recovery

Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–90 - NCT06871124Recruiting
Early brain stimulation for traumatic brain injury
This study tests whether early brain stimulation can help recovery after a moderate to severe traumatic brain injury (TBI). It might help improve thinking and awareness in patients who can already speak and follow directions.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for brain injuries?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 451 recruiting brain injuries studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a brain injuries trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a brain injuries trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
