S100β levels in mild brain injury
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study looks at a blood test (S100β) that may help doctors check for brain injury. It includes healthy adults and people with mild brain injury who need a head CT scan.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- Either you are healthy and coming for a routine check-up, OR you have a suspected mild brain injury (closed head injury) and need a head CT scan.
- If you have a brain injury, your Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score must be between 13 and 15 (meaning a mild injury).
- If you are healthy, you must not have had a stroke, serious injury, surgery, mental illness, dementia, memory problems, or cancer in the last 3 months.
- If you have a brain injury, you cannot have a history of brain or nerve problems, intellectual disability, alcohol/drug addiction (except recent drinking), or a brain tumor.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at changes in a protein called S100B in people who come to the emergency room with a head injury. It is an observational study, meaning no treatment is given; researchers just take blood samples to see how S100B levels change, which might help doctors better understand head injuries.
This study is looking for people with a recent traumatic brain injury (within 24 hours) to see if testing certain proteins in the blood can help doctors better diagnose and treat the injury.
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 whether routine blood tests can help predict if a child has a brain injury after a mild head injury. The goal is to find simple ways to know what might happen without needing extra, sometimes painful, procedures.
This study is testing whether a quick eye-tracking test, along with a blood test, can tell doctors if you need a head CT scan after a mild brain injury and help predict how quickly you'll recover.
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.
