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)

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 research uses advanced brain imaging (MRI) to understand how head injuries affect the brain's structure and connections. The goal is to develop personalized tools to predict recovery and guide treatment decisions for patients with moderate to severe head injuries.
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 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 trial studies biological processes after a traumatic brain injury. It looks at brain tissue samples from patients who need surgery to remove a brain bruise to learn more about healing and injury.
This trial studies how to predict who may develop small brain injuries seen on CT scans after a mild traumatic brain injury. It may help doctors decide who needs closer monitoring or follow-up imaging.
