This study looks at how gentle, early physical movement during ICU care affects recovery in patients with serious brain injuries like stroke or head trauma. Researchers will track how patients respond to a structured movement program while they're on a breathing machine.
CopenhagenAges 18 years+ - 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.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 21–55 - NCT06188364RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Helping caregivers of traumatic brain injury patients
This trial tests if mobile health support (texts and calls) helps caregivers of people with traumatic brain injury after rehab. You may join as the main caregiver if you supervise daily care and have a smartphone or can get one.
Richmond, VirginiaAges 18 years+ - NCT06624488Recruiting
Brain injury markers after cardiac arrest and outlook
This study looks at certain proteins in the fluid around the brain and in the blood after a cardiac arrest. These proteins may help doctors predict how the patient will recover, which could guide their care.
BeijingAges 18–80 - NCT07230002Recruiting
Navigating in virtual worlds after brain injury
This study looks at how people who had a moderate or severe traumatic brain injury at least 3 months ago walk and navigate in complex virtual environments. Participants will use virtual reality to test their movement strategies.
RennesAges 18–55 - NCT07635329Recruiting
Home Vision Therapy Guided by Brain Scans
This study tests whether vision rehabilitation exercises done at home, guided by brain imaging, can help people regain vision after a stroke, brain injury, or tumor. Participants will use brain scans to personalize their therapy.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT06241482Recruiting
Enhanced recovery after brain surgery in intensive care
This study tests a special recovery program for people with serious brain injuries or strokes who need intensive care. The program focuses on helping you heal faster after surgery.
ShanghaiAges 18–75 - NCT06065046RecruitingPhase 2
Baricitinib for traumatic brain bleeding
This trial tests if baricitinib, an anti-inflammatory drug, can help people with bleeding in the brain from a head injury. It is for adults with moderate to severe traumatic brain injury who are not immediately having surgery.
Xi'an, ShaanxiAges 18–80 - NCT07056348Recruiting
Brain stimulation to improve movement in Parkinson's or tremor
This study tests brain stimulation in a region called VOP/VIM to see if it can improve motor function. It is for people with movement disorders who are already getting deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18–80 - NCT05682677Recruiting
Brain stimulation plus cognitive training for depression after mild head injury
This study tests whether a combination of brain stimulation and cognitive training can reduce depression symptoms in people who have ongoing mild traumatic brain injury (TBI). It may help by targeting both mood and thinking/processing skills affected after mTBI.
La Jolla, CaliforniaAges 18–65 - NCT06036147Recruiting
Concussion Recovery Program for Teens
This study tests a remote program to help teens ages 11 to 18 recover from a concussion that happened 1 to 12 months ago. You'll learn ways to manage symptoms like headaches, tiredness, or trouble focusing, all from home.
Dallas, TexasAges 11–18 - NCT07025317Recruiting
Study on concussions and brain training in older adults
This study looks at how repeated concussions affect the brain as we age. It tests a computer-based brain training program and uses MRI scans to see if training can help improve thinking and memory.
Victoria, British ColumbiaAges 60 years+ - NCT07404761Recruiting
Moving your arm after stroke or TBI
This study tests a device that uses mild electrical pulses and augmented reality (a computer overlay on real life) to help people who have arm or hand weakness after a recent stroke or brain injury regain movement.
HaifaAges 18 years+ - NCT05725993Recruiting
Study of tiny blood-vessel brain injury after head trauma
This study follows people with a moderate, non-penetrating traumatic brain injury (TBI) to see how small blood-vessel damage changes over time. It uses brain scans to learn what happens after a serious accident, which may help improve future care.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18–65 - NCT06733025Recruiting
Comparing surgery and Botox for arm spasticity
This trial compares two treatments—Botox injections or surgery—for arm and hand spasticity after a stroke, brain injury, or spinal cord injury. It may help you decide which option works best for you.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for severe brain injury?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 266 recruiting severe brain injury 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 severe brain injury 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 severe brain injury 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.
