Study for low-risk head injury after a bump to the head
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial studies people with a recent, blunt head injury who are considered low risk and may be getting a head CT scan. It may help improve how doctors decide when CT scans are needed after a concussion or possible brain bleeding.

This study tests a blood test that may help doctors decide if you need a CT scan after a mild head injury. If the test works, you might avoid a CT scan and get faster answers about your head injury.
This trial studies how to predict who may develop small brain injuries seen on CT scans after a mild traumatic brain injury. It may help doctors decide who needs closer monitoring or follow-up imaging.
This trial tests whether a new quick test done in the emergency department can help doctors decide who needs a brain scan after a mild head injury. It aims to reduce unnecessary scans and make care faster and safer.
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.
