Predicting Brain Lesion Risk After Mild Head Injury
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be at least 15 years old
- Come to the emergency department within 24 hours of the head injury
- Have a GCS score of 13 to 15 when first seen (a quick way doctors rate how awake/alert you are)
- You must have had a CT scan done after the injury
- Your emergency visit and medical records must be available for review

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.
This study looks at how mild or moderate head injuries (concussions) may relate to brain conditions like chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) and Alzheimer's disease. By comparing people with and without head injuries, researchers hope to learn more about what causes brain changes over time.
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.
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 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 study is looking at people with traumatic brain injuries to improve how they are treated. If you join, you will get an MRI and other tests within the first two days after your injury, and the researchers will track your recovery over time.
