Blood test for early detection of brain or spinal injury
Treatments studied
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study looks for tiny fragments in your blood that might show whether you have a brain or spinal cord injury. The goal is to help doctors diagnose these injuries faster and more accurately in the future.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 18 and 75 years old.
- You are either a healthy volunteer, someone with a recent spinal cord injury (within 6 hours), or someone with a traumatic brain injury (within 6 hours).
- You must be able to give consent (or have a trusted person who can) and be covered by a social security scheme.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study is looking for people with a spinal cord injury from a blunt force (not a penetrating injury like a gunshot or stab wound) to see if certain substances in the blood (called biomarkers) can help doctors understand the injury better and predict recovery. It involves an initial blood sample within 24 hours of the injury and follow-up assessments.
This study looks for ways to test treatments for people with spinal cord injuries and/or brain injuries. It may help researchers better understand which treatment approaches work and for whom.
This study looks at how a spinal cord injury affects feeling, movement, behaviour, and thinking. If you join, you'll have tests and brain scans to help doctors understand these effects better.
This study looks at blood tests after a spinal cord injury to find markers that may predict recovery. The results could help doctors plan better treatment for future patients.
This study looks at a blood test that may help doctors quickly detect brain damage after a head injury. By joining, you could help improve how doctors evaluate and treat head injuries in the emergency room.
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.
