TaipeiAges 20–65 - 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+ - NCT05562232Recruiting

Cincinnati, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT05647044RecruitingPhase 1
Brain stimulation to reduce impulsivity and suicidal thoughts after mild TBI
This early-stage study tests whether a noninvasive brain stimulation treatment (called iTBS) can reduce impulsivity and suicidal thoughts in Veterans who have had a mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) and recent suicidal thinking. If you qualify, you may be offered a monitored treatment plan and assessments for safety and symptom changes.
Hines, IllinoisAges 22–65 - 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 - NCT05702138RecruitingPhase 2
High-intensity walking training for recent brain injury
This Phase 2 study tests whether high-intensity, treadmill-based step training can improve walking after a traumatic brain injury (TBI). It may help people who are still having trouble with walking speed and can follow instructions.
Englewood, ColoradoAges 18 years+ - NCT05716048RecruitingPhase 1
Rehab program study for adults with lasting brain injury symptoms
This Phase 1 trial tests a combined rehabilitation program to improve function in people living with moderate-to-severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) for at least a year. It may help people who still have new problems with learning and memory and who are not very physically active.
West Orange, New JerseyAges 18–65 - 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 - NCT05762796Recruiting
Brain scan and stimulation study for kids with mild concussion
This study tests whether a brain “stimulation” approach, paired with brain imaging (MRI), can help children who still have symptoms after a mild concussion. There is also a comparison group of children without concussion history.
Buffalo, New YorkAges 10–15 - NCT05819008Recruiting
Online brain testing for people with neurological conditions
This trial studies how well a remote, online memory and thinking assessment works for people with neurological disorders or injuries. You may be invited if you can do the computer-based testing and speak Swedish.
UmeåAges 18 years+ - NCT05825027Recruiting
Sorting out risk in children with a recent concussion
This study looks at how to identify which children are at higher risk after a concussion and how they should be monitored. It may help doctors choose safer, more personalized follow-up care after a recent head injury.
Durham, North CarolinaAges 11–17 - NCT05848297Recruiting
Robotic ultrasound monitoring for severe traumatic brain injury
This trial tests whether a robotic system using a bedside ultrasound test (TCD) can safely monitor brain blood flow in adults with severe traumatic brain injury soon after the injury. It may help the care team track changes earlier and adjust treatment sooner.
Davis, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05855252Recruiting
Study on monitoring and outcomes after moderate to severe head injury
This observational study follows adults with moderate to severe traumatic brain injury to understand care and outcomes. It collects information from the first 48 hours in the ICU and may help improve how clinicians monitor and treat patients in the critical early period.
Kogarah, New South WalesAges 18 years+ - 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+ - NCT05906056Recruiting
CPM therapy vs bone overgrowth in hip or knee
This study compares continuous passive motion (a machine that gently moves a joint without you moving it) versus the body’s tendency to form extra bone called heterotopic ossification. It aims to see whether CPM can affect how and how much bone overgrowth develops after neurologic injuries like stroke, brain injury, or spinal cord injury.
Ioannina, EpirusAges 15–70 - NCT06024122Recruiting
Brain development after mild concussion in young children
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 - 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 - NCT06062628RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Ketamine for severe traumatic brain injury
This study tests whether a low dose of ketamine can help people with severe traumatic brain injury by reducing brain pressure and improving oxygen levels. If you have a brain monitor in place and meet safety criteria, you may be able to join.
Dallas, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06062888RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Testing fresh frozen plasma for traumatic brain injury
This trial tests whether giving fresh frozen plasma (a blood product) soon after a traumatic brain injury can help people recover better. It is for adults aged 18 to 65 with moderate to severe TBI confirmed by CT scan.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18–65 - NCT06065046RecruitingPhase 2

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for traumatic brain injury?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 361 recruiting traumatic 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 traumatic 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 traumatic 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.
