Monitoring vital signs to predict recovery after head injury
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study checks vital signs (like heart rate and breathing) in the first hours after a traumatic brain injury to predict whether neurological function may decline. It may help doctors spot patients at higher risk sooner and adjust care earlier.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You arrived at the hospital within 6 hours of your injury
- You are 18 years old or older (and 89 or younger)
- Your injury is a traumatic brain injury with altered consciousness or loss of consciousness (with or without head CT changes)
- You are not considered to have a non-survivable brain injury
- You are not brain dead on arrival and you can consent (study requires English)

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 collects medical and test information from people who have a confirmed brain injury (TBI) and arrive at the emergency room within 12 hours. Doctors hope the collected clinical and lab data will help better understand TBI and improve future care.
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 looks at how sleep is affected after a traumatic brain injury (TBI). It uses a small wearable tracker to measure sleep patterns at home, either soon after the injury or a year or more later.
This study uses a quick MRI scan to check brain function and predict recovery after a traumatic brain injury. It may help researchers develop better ways to assess and treat TBI patients.
