This study looks at how a mild concussion affects brain development in young children (ages 3–5) compared to kids with other minor injuries like a broken arm. It involves one MRI scan and some simple check-ups to see how the brain heals over time.
RennesAges 3 years–5.9 years - NCT05446584RecruitingPhase 2
Study memory changes in people with past mild head injury
This Phase 2 study looks at how memory problems (amnestic mild cognitive impairment) may relate to a history of a mild traumatic brain injury. It compares people with a past mild head injury to people without one to better understand what might be driving memory symptoms.
Dallas, TexasAges 55 years+ - NCT07694258Recruiting
Testing a helmet for brain stimulation in consciousness disorders
This study tests a special helmet that uses ultrasound to stimulate the brain in people with disorders of consciousness caused by brain injury. It aims to see if the treatment is safe and possible to do.
Toronto, OntarioAges Any age - NCT07535593RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Electrical Acupoint Stimulation for Consciousness Disorders
This trial tests a non-invasive treatment called transcutaneous electrical acupoint stimulation (TEAS) to help people recover consciousness after severe brain injury. The treatment uses mild electrical pulses on specific points on the hands and may help improve awareness and responsiveness.
Xi'an, ShaanxiAges 18–80 - NCT07456020Recruiting
Measuring awareness after brain injury in the ICU
This study checks how awake and aware you are using two standard checklists (CRS-R and SECONDs). It's for people with recent brain injuries in intensive care who are still very dependent.
Hessisch Oldendorf, Lower SaxonyAges 18 years+ - NCT07127224Recruiting
Predicting recovery with smell tests in coma
This study tests whether a simple smell test can help predict recovery of consciousness in patients who remain in a coma or minimally conscious state after a severe brain injury. If you or your loved one has been unresponsive for several days after sedation is stopped, this trial may provide useful information about prognosis.
Paris, GHU Psychiatrie Et NeurosciencesAges 18 years+ - NCT06939348Recruiting
Ultrasound therapy for patients with consciousness disorders
This trial tests whether ultrasound stimulation can help people with disorders of consciousness, like coma or a minimally conscious state. It aims to improve brain function and recovery for patients who have been injured for over a month.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18–79 - NCT06797752Recruiting
Stellate ganglion block and retina blood flow study
This trial looks at how a nerve block (stellate ganglion block) affects blood flow in the retina. It may help people who already get this block for conditions like complex regional pain syndrome understand eye effects.
Dallas, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06073886RecruitingPhase 2
Better brain stimulation for long-lasting concussion symptoms
This trial tests whether personalized brain stimulation can help people who have ongoing symptoms more than 20 on a standard concussion scale, such as headaches, dizziness, or trouble concentrating, after a mild head injury in the past year.
Westwood, Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18–65 - NCT07606300Recruiting
Light Training to Help Light Sensitivity After Head Injury
This trial tests whether a training program using colored light targets can help reduce light sensitivity (photophobia) that some people experience after a traumatic brain injury. The training involves focusing your eyes on lights during several visits.
Columbus, OhioAges 18–80 - NCT07549529Recruiting
Balance and Movement Problems After Concussion
This study looks at why some people have trouble with balance and movement after a concussion (mild traumatic brain injury). Researchers will test your balance and movement to understand these problems better and help improve how doctors treat them.
Portland, OregonAges 18–60 - NCT05566431Recruiting
Check monitoring for high brain pressure after child head injury
This study looks at a way of measuring and responding to high pressure inside the brain in children after a non-penetrating head injury. It may help doctors decide which monitoring approach works best for children who are very sick right after injury or become worse quickly.
Seattle, WashingtonAges 1–12 - NCT07664358Recruiting
Predicting lung injury after traumatic brain injury
This study looks at whether a simple blood test measuring fibrinogen and albumin levels can help predict if someone with a traumatic brain injury will develop a serious lung condition called acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). It may help doctors identify patients who need extra monitoring and care.
Tanta, Gharbia GovernorateAges 18 years+ - NCT07568301Enrolling by invitation
Music and nature self-care for brain injury survivors
