Biomarkers for abusive head trauma in infants
Treatments studied
Part of Blood & lymphatic clinical trials.
This study looks for proteins in the blood that could help doctors tell if an infant's brain injury was caused by abuse. It is for babies under 2 years old who have certain brain symptoms and already need a blood test.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 0 to 2 years old.
- You must have seen a doctor for fainting, seizures without fever, loss of consciousness, a brain injury, or skull surgery.
- You must have a blood test as part of your medical care.
- A parent or guardian must agree to join the study.

This study is testing whether a blood test can detect traumatic brain injury (TBI) in children. If successful, it could offer a quicker, less invasive way to diagnose concussions and other head injuries, reducing the need for CT scans or MRIs.
This study looks at whether routine blood tests taken in the emergency room can help doctors predict if a child with a minor head injury might have a brain injury. The goal is to find simple, quick ways to identify children who may need extra care.
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 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 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 looks at how certain brain proteins (called biomarkers) behave in the blood after an acute brain injury. The goal is to see if these proteins can help doctors quickly assess the severity of the injury. Participation involves giving blood samples at specific times after your injury.
