Inhaled nitric oxide for microvascular problems after brain injury
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This Phase 2 study tests whether inhaled nitric oxide can improve tiny blood-flow problems in the brain after traumatic brain injury. If you qualify, you may receive inhaled nitric oxide and be monitored for safety and recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 75 years old (inclusive).
- You have a recent traumatic brain injury with a specific level of consciousness on the Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS).
- Brain imaging shows mainly diffuse injury (not mostly one large trapped blood area).
- You are not planned for urgent neurosurgery right away.
- You do not have major heart or lung problems that could make inhaled nitric oxide unsafe.

This Phase 2 study tests whether sildenafil (a medication better known for erectile function) can improve long-term symptoms and brain blood-flow issues after a past traumatic brain injury (TBI). It may help by improving blood vessel function in the brain and possibly reducing persistent post-concussion symptoms.
This Phase 2 trial studies whether breathing oxygen in a pressurized chamber can improve outcomes after a severe traumatic brain injury. It is mainly for people with very low consciousness levels soon after injury, with careful safety checks.
This trial tests whether breathing pure oxygen in a pressurized chamber (hyperbaric oxygen therapy) helps people recover from traumatic brain injury. It aims to see if this treatment is safe and can improve healing for patients starting rehabilitation.
This study tests whether giving inhaled nitric oxide gas helps improve lung function in patients on a breathing tube with mild to moderate acute lung injury (ARDS). Participants will receive standard care plus the study gas, and the team will use special imaging to see how the lungs respond.
This Phase 1 study tests whether inhaled nitric oxide (a gas breathed through a ventilator) can improve outcomes in people having a specific kind of emergency stroke procedure to remove a clot from the brain. It focuses on patients who need general anesthesia for the clot-removal procedure and have imaging results that suggest salvageable brain tissue.
This study tests whether breathing in a special gas called nitric oxide can help people with moderate to severe ARDS (a severe form of lung failure that makes it hard to breathe). The gas is used to improve oxygen levels and may help patients on a ventilator recover.
