Stem cell treatment for severe traumatic brain injury
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests whether a treatment made from donor stem cells (called mesenchymal stromal cells) can help people recover from a severe traumatic brain injury. The cells are given through a vein within 48 hours of the injury.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are between 18 and 70 years old.
- You had a traumatic brain injury confirmed by a CT scan within the last 48 hours.
- You are on a breathing machine (ventilator) and have a very low level of consciousness (GCS score 8 or less), but at least one pupil reacts to light.
- You do not have other serious health problems like cancer, severe organ failure, or a weak immune system.
- You are not pregnant or nursing, and you do not have a history of bleeding or clotting problems.

This trial tests whether a single infusion of stem cells from donated umbilical cord tissue can help calm inflammation in the brain after severe traumatic brain injury. It is for patients aged 18–50 who need brain pressure monitoring and are not responding to verbal commands 5 days after sedation is stopped.
This trial tests whether stem cells taken from your own fat and given through an IV can help people with long-term brain damage from a head injury. It is for adults who have not gotten better with standard treatments.
This trial provides access to an experimental stem cell treatment made from a patient's own fat cells (adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells) for people with brain injury. The goal is to see if this treatment can help improve recovery from brain injury.
This study tests whether giving stem cells shortly after a brain bleed can help recovery. It aims to see if the treatment is safe and may improve healing and function.
This study tests the safety of giving stem cells from umbilical cord blood through an IV to people who have had a traumatic brain injury (TBI). The goal is to see if this treatment is safe and might help with recovery.
This study follows people who have already chosen to receive MUSE stem cell therapy for their traumatic brain injury. It aims to track their safety and outcomes over time to learn if this treatment helps.
