Study of tiny blood-vessel brain injury after head trauma
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 65 years old
- You had a non-penetrating head injury (not a wound that went into the brain) with imaging showing brain injury
- Your accident was high-energy (for example, a serious car crash, a fall from height)
- You lost consciousness right away after the injury (not delayed)
- You are able to do repeated brain MRI scans with contrast dye (if you have MRI metal implants, pregnancy, gadolinium allergy, kidney problems, or severe claustrophobia, you may not qualify)

This study looks at how a past traumatic brain injury (TBI) might affect your thinking skills and blood vessel health over time. You may be eligible if you had a TBI at least 3 years ago and have already completed an earlier evaluation at the National Intrepid Center of Excellence (NICoE).
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.
This study uses advanced MRI brain scans to better understand brain damage after a severe head injury. It could help improve care and recovery for people with this type of injury.
This study tests new ways to improve care for people with a penetrating brain injury, which happens when an object goes through the skull and into the brain. It aims to find better treatments that could help recovery.
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 enrolls people who come to the emergency room with a mild head injury (concussion) within 24 hours of the injury. Researchers will collect a blood sample, have you wear a health monitor for 3 months, and check in by phone at 14 and 90 days to track your recovery.
