Nerve stimulation for memory problems after brain injury
This trial tests whether stimulating a nerve in the wrist (median nerve) can help improve thinking and memory problems in people who have had a recent traumatic brain injury. It is for adults with moderate injuries who have trouble with memory and thinking.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–64 - 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+ - NCT07378592Recruiting
Driving simulator training for adults with brain injury
This trial tests a driving simulator training program to help adults with acquired brain injuries regain skills and confidence behind the wheel. If you have a brain injury and a valid license, you may be able to join.
Fairfield, ConnecticutAges 18 years+ - 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 - NCT07345481Recruiting
Learning new connections in brain injury
This study tests whether people with an acquired brain injury can learn new connections between symbols and words using a computer-based learning method. The goal is to see if this approach can help with cognitive rehabilitation.
Arnhem, GelderlandAges 18–75 - NCT07215195Recruiting
Brain injury, sleep, and mental health study
This study looks at how brain injuries affect sleep and mental health in the months after injury. It is for people who have had a stroke, brain bleed, or traumatic brain injury within the past year and are willing to let the research team contact their doctor if needed.
OxfordAges 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 - NCT07092423Recruiting
Special liquid tube feed for brain injury patients
This study tests a special liquid formula (semi-elemental nutrition) given through a feeding tube to people with severe traumatic brain injury. It aims to see if this formula is easier on the stomach and causes fewer digestive problems than standard tube feeds.
Xi'an, ShaanxiAges 18–75 - NCT07072624RecruitingPhase 4
Preventing seizures after severe head injury
This trial tests whether giving medication right after a serious head injury can prevent early seizures. It may help people with certain types of brain injuries seen on CT scans.
Chandigarh, PunjabAges 18–70 - NCT07074938Recruiting
Traditional Chinese medicine for brain injury recovery
This trial tests whether a traditional Chinese medicine called An Gong Niuhuang Wan can help people recover brain function after a traumatic brain injury and surgery. It may be a good fit if you are moderately affected (GCS 6–12) and your condition is stable enough to start treatment within three days.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18–60 - NCT06956404Recruiting

Louisville, KentuckyAges 18 years+ - NCT06958406Recruiting
Brain-heart connection after head injury
This study uses brain scans (MRI) to understand how a traumatic brain injury can affect the heart. It may help find better ways to treat the brain-heart connection after a head injury.
ShanghaiAges 18–80 - NCT06871124Recruiting
Early brain stimulation for traumatic brain injury
