Recruiting studies near Baltimore
- NCT07569354Recruiting
Recovery in Older Adults After Mild Head Injury
This study follows older adults (65+) who had a mild traumatic brain injury (concussion) to understand how they recover over time. Researchers want to learn what helps seniors bounce back and stay active after a head injury.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 65 years+ - NCT07521930Recruiting
Brain implant to restore communication and movement control
This trial tests a surgically implanted brain device designed to help people with severe paralysis or movement disorders regain the ability to communicate and control their limbs. The device reads signals from your brain and translates them into commands that could help you interact with computers or assistive technology.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18–80 - NCT06899711Recruiting
A helmet after skull surgery to prevent sunken flap
This study tests whether wearing a custom-made external helmet after a large skull removal surgery can prevent the skin from sinking in. If you've had this surgery in the last two weeks and are being treated at a Johns Hopkins hospital, you may be eligible.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT01459107RecruitingPhase 2
Upper arm transplant study using immune treatment
This trial tests replacing a missing or non-working lower arm/hand with a donated upper limb (transplant). It also uses a special immune treatment plan and bone marrow infusion to help the body accept the new limb, aiming to improve hand function and quality of life.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18–69 - NCT02395497RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Penile transplant trial using immune-suppressing medicines
This study tests whether a donated penis can be successfully transplanted using medicines that calm the immune system to prevent rejection. It also looks at safety and recovery of function in men with severe penile loss from injury, cancer surgery, or birth conditions.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18–69 - NCT02407028RecruitingPhase 2
Hyperbaric oxygen treatment for severe traumatic brain injury
This Phase 2 trial studies whether breathing oxygen in a pressurized chamber can improve outcomes after a severe traumatic brain injury. It is mainly for people with very low consciousness levels soon after injury, with careful safety checks.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 16–65 - NCT05084352Recruiting
Monitoring vital signs to predict recovery after head injury
This study checks vital signs (like heart rate and breathing) in the first hours after a traumatic brain injury to predict whether neurological function may decline. It may help doctors spot patients at higher risk sooner and adjust care earlier.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18–79 - NCT04855396Recruiting
Study of blood markers during hyperbaric oxygen brain injury care
This trial looks at blood “biomarkers,” or lab measurements, while people receive hyperbaric oxygen treatment for brain injury as part of the main HOBIT study. It may help researchers understand who benefits and why by improving how treatment responses are tracked.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 16–65 - NCT06465290Recruiting
Brain recovery treatment for recent stroke with ankle stiffness
This trial tests a treatment to help your brain recover after a stroke. It focuses on improving ankle movement and leg strength using exercises that promote brain rewiring.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 30–85 - 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 - NCT06034509Recruiting
Thinking and blood vessel health after head injury
This study looks at how a past traumatic brain injury (TBI) might affect your thinking skills and blood vessel health over time. You may be eligible if you had a TBI at least 3 years ago and have already completed an earlier evaluation at the National Intrepid Center of Excellence (NICoE).
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–74 - NCT07301710RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2

Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–65 - NCT07267819Recruiting
Xeomin for migraines after a brain injury or health incident
This trial looks at whether Xeomin (a shot that relaxes muscles) helps prevent migraines in people who have had a traumatic brain injury or an unexplained health event, such as a blast or sudden illness. It is for U.S. government employees and their families who have already tried Xeomin at a U.S. military or medical facility.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT05663034Recruiting
Compare CBT-I vs MBTI for sleep and trauma symptoms after TBI
This study compares two types of talk-based therapy to help veterans with long-lasting insomnia after a traumatic brain injury (TBI), and also looks at related post-trauma stress symptoms. It may help you improve sleep and reduce how much these symptoms affect daily life.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT07436754Recruiting
Comparing Two Video Therapy Programs for Emotional Health After Brain Injury
This study compares two different video-based therapy programs to see which one helps people with mild traumatic brain injury who have trouble identifying or managing their emotions. It might be a good fit if you had a concussion at least 6 months ago and have a device for video calls.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT07105358Recruiting
Vision recovery study after brain damage
This study tests whether the brain can improve vision after damage caused by stroke, tumor, or injury. It may help people with vision loss from a brain lesion find new ways to see better.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 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.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 21–55 - NCT06368648Recruiting
Study of a new forehead sensor for brain pressure monitoring
This study tests a new sensor that measures brain pressure from outside the head. It is for people who are already in the hospital getting their brain pressure and blood pressure monitored continuously.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 18 years+ - 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+ - NCT04982731Enrolling by invitation
Testing reassurance support after a concussion in teens

What taking part in a traumatic brain injury 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.
