Testing a clotting test in recent traumatic brain injury
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a special blood clotting test called thromboelastography can help assess clotting problems after a head injury. It may help doctors better understand bleeding risk and related complications early after trauma.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You arrived at the hospital within 24 hours after your head injury
- Your injury is mainly to the brain (other body areas have an injury severity score of 3 or less)
- You do not have a previous neurologic condition (a long-term brain or nerve problem before this injury)
- You do not have a known bleeding/clotting disorder
- You were not taking blood thinners or other medicines that affect clotting in the 30 days before the injury
- You had not received blood transfusions or other blood products before the study blood sample is taken

This study is testing a new blood-based test to help doctors diagnose traumatic brain injury (TBI) and track recovery or complications. If you have had a head injury and a CT scan as part of your care, you may be able to join.
This trial tests a new blood test that can help doctors quickly check if you have a brain injury after a head injury. It may help you avoid a CT scan if the blood test shows you are likely fine.
This trial tests whether taking an anti–blood clot medicine (dalteparin) and using leg compression can reduce dangerous blood clots after a severe traumatic brain injury. It may help lower the chance of clots forming when people are immobile and at higher risk.
This study tests whether an anti-bleeding medicine (given to reduce unwanted clot breakdown) can improve outcomes after a mild head injury in people 50 and older. It is looking for patients who arrive quickly after injury and have certain symptoms like brief loss of consciousness, confusion, or nausea.
This trial compares two types of blood tests (a new quick test vs. standard tests) to see which helps doctors better manage bleeding after a severe injury. It is for adults with serious trauma who may have a blood clotting problem.
This study is looking for people with a recent traumatic brain injury (within 24 hours) to see if testing certain proteins in the blood can help doctors better diagnose and treat the injury.
