Study of brain swelling after severe head injury surgery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a severe head injury and doctors recommend emergency skull surgery (craniectomy or craniotomy).
- The surgery wound must not be contaminated (not heavily contaminated with germs or debris).
- Your surgery is not limited only to the posterior fossa (the back, lower part of the skull).
- You do not have a known whole-body infection (systemic infection).
- If you can become pregnant, you are not pregnant.

This trial monitors brain activity with special electrodes after a severe head injury. It aims to understand how the brain recovers by watching the electrical signals, which might help improve treatment for brain pressure.
This Phase 2 trial is testing a combination medication strategy to improve outcomes after severe traumatic brain injury that needs emergency brain surgery soon after the injury. It may help by affecting how injured brain cells respond, aiming to improve survival or recovery.
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.
This trial tests a new, non-invasive way to monitor pressure inside the skull for people with traumatic brain injury. It compares the new device to the standard invasive method already being used in your care.
This trial studies biological processes after a traumatic brain injury. It looks at brain tissue samples from patients who need surgery to remove a brain bruise to learn more about healing and injury.
This study uses advanced MRI brain scans to better understand brain damage after a severe head injury. It could help improve care and recovery for people with this type of injury.
