Test blood biomarkers to help diagnose concussion
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study checks whether a blood test can accurately and quickly identify an uncomplicated concussion. It may help doctors confirm concussion sooner and more reliably, and potentially reduce time and cost of diagnosis.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Have an uncomplicated concussion diagnosis with a normal brain scan (no intracranial abnormalities)
- Be 18 to 65 years old
- OR, if not a concussion: have a musculoskeletal (muscle or joint) injury with no other major health problems
- Have no history of moderate or severe brain injury (including complicated mild traumatic brain injury)
- Do not have other neurological problems (like stroke, seizures, or dementia) or major metabolic/organ diseases (like uncontrolled diabetes, liver, kidney, or significant heart conditions)
- Join within 7 days of the injury (or earlier)

This study looks at whether certain substances in the blood can help doctors better diagnose and treat people who have had a traumatic brain injury within the past 24 hours. If you have had a head injury and are between 18 and 65 years old, you might be able to join.
This study uses a blood test to help doctors better understand and manage mild traumatic brain injury (concussion). If you had a mild head injury in the past 12 hours and have certain symptoms, researchers want to check if a new blood-based approach can improve care.
This study uses MRI scans and blood tests to measure brain recovery after a concussion. It will help doctors understand how concussions affect the brain and find better ways to diagnose them.
