Fort Cavazos, TexasAges 18–45 - NCT06966713Recruiting
Predicting recovery after severe brain injury
This study looks at patients with severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) who already need brain pressure or oxygen monitoring. Doctors want to see if certain tests can help predict how well someone might recover.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06480838Recruiting
Brain blood flow and thinking after traumatic brain injury
This study looks at how the brain controls its own blood flow after a moderate to severe traumatic brain injury (TBI). It uses MRI scans and thinking tests to understand recovery and help improve care for people like you.
Dallas, TexasAges 18–80 - NCT07280923Recruiting
Wheelchair use and neurologic disorder study
This study aims to see if a new survey, the PReFS, is accurate and reliable for people who use wheelchairs because of a neurologic condition. If you qualify, you may help improve how doctors measure your health.
Waco, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07351305Recruiting
PTSD treatment for veterans and service members with a brain injury
This study tests a non-trauma therapy for PTSD in veterans and service members who also have a mild or moderate brain injury. It aims to help with PTSD symptoms without focusing on the traumatic event itself.
Fort Hood, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT02769416Enrolling by invitation
Testing new treatments for spinal cord and brain injuries
This study looks for ways to test treatments for people with spinal cord injuries and/or brain injuries. It may help researchers better understand which treatment approaches work and for whom.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05826912Enrolling by invitationPhase 2
Testing new treatment for acute brain injury after a fall or hit
This study tests an investigational treatment to improve outcomes after a recent non-penetrating traumatic brain injury (like a fall or car crash). It uses early CT/MRI imaging and a blood test soon after injury to see who benefits and how well the treatment works.
Houston, TexasAges 18–65 - NCT03502967Enrolling by invitationEarly Phase 1
Hyperpolarized carbon-13 brain scan for recent traumatic brain injury
This early study tests a special brain imaging scan that looks at brain metabolism after a recent concussion/traumatic brain injury (TBI). It may help researchers understand what’s happening in the brain soon after injury.
Dallas, TexasAges 18–60 - NCT05889650Recruiting
External drainage for severe TBI brain swelling
This study tests whether placing an external drainage tube in the lower back can reduce dangerous pressure in the brain after a severe traumatic brain injury. If you meet safety and brain-scan criteria, it may help the research team understand whether this approach is safe early after injury.
San Antonio, TexasAges 18–65 - NCT05183152Recruiting
Non-invasive brain signal control for assistive devices

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.
