Recruiting studies
- NCT07373509Recruiting
Quick blood test for mild traumatic brain injury in the emergency room

Study of brain swelling after severe head injury surgery
This trial looks at changes in brain activity after severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) when patients need emergency skull surgery. The goal is to better understand what happens in the brain after surgery and whether earlier recognition could help care after injury.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT03241732Enrolling by invitation
PET-MRI scan study for ongoing brain injury symptoms
This trial uses special brain scans (PET and MRI) to study chronic symptoms after a past traumatic brain injury (TBI), such as memory trouble, mood changes, and headaches. It may help researchers understand what’s going on in the brain and how it relates to symptoms like anxiety or distress.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18–80 - 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+ - 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+ - NCT07413562Recruiting
Nerve stimulation for memory problems after brain injury
This trial tests whether stimulating a nerve in the wrist (median nerve) can help improve thinking and memory problems in people who have had a recent traumatic brain injury. It is for adults with moderate injuries who have trouble with memory and thinking.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–64 - NCT07430150Recruiting
Long-term effects of oxygen therapy on thinking after brain injury
This study checks if hyperbaric oxygen therapy (breathing pure oxygen in a special chamber) has lasting benefits for thinking skills in people who have had a traumatic brain injury.
ZrifinAges 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.
Indianapolis, IndianaAges 18 years+ - NCT07473505Recruiting
Nerve block for PTSD in special operations veterans
This study tests if a specific nerve block (cervical sympathetic block) can help reduce trauma-related symptoms in Special Operations veterans with PTSD. The goal is to see if this treatment is safe and can improve how you feel.
Strongsville, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT07474987Recruiting
Virtual reality test for brain injury diagnosis
This study uses a virtual reality device that shines light into your eyes to check how your pupils react. It aims to help diagnose and track traumatic brain injury in soldiers.
Tel Litwinsky, Tel Aviv (Gosh Dan)Ages 18–67 - NCT07485361Recruiting
Brain scanning in disorders of consciousness
This trial uses a portable brain scanner (fNIRS) to study brain activity in people with disorders of consciousness, like coma or minimally conscious states. It may help doctors better understand and track recovery in these patients. Healthy volunteers are also needed as a comparison group.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07490418Recruiting
Brain injury screening for mild head trauma or neurological symptoms
This trial tests a device (TES HT100) to screen for brain injuries in people with mild head trauma or certain neurological symptoms. It aims to quickly identify who might need imaging or follow-up care.
Castel Volturno, CEAges 18 years+ - NCT07560631Recruiting
Facial Tracking to Monitor Brain Injury Recovery
This study uses camera technology to track subtle facial movements as a way to detect awareness and recovery in people with severe brain injuries. It may help doctors better understand and monitor patients who have suffered traumatic brain injury.
Stony Brook, New YorkAges 22–85 - 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 - NCT07625995RecruitingPhase 2
Fluid management strategies for traumatic brain injury patients

BrusselsAges 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.

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.
