Keeping body temperature normal after brain injury
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial tests whether keeping the body temperature normal after a traumatic brain injury can help improve recovery. It may be an option for adults with moderate to severe brain injuries who arrive quickly at the hospital.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You had a traumatic brain injury and are being treated at London Health Sciences Centre.
- Before you were put on a breathing tube, your level of consciousness (Glasgow Coma Scale score) was between 5 and 12.
- You can be enrolled within 24 hours of your injury.
- You are expected to survive at least 48 hours after injury.

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 tests if adjusting treatment to maintain optimal blood flow in the brain can improve recovery after a severe traumatic brain injury. It may help patients who need close monitoring of brain pressure in the ICU.
This study checks vital signs (like heart rate and breathing) in the first hours after a traumatic brain injury to predict whether neurological function may decline. It may help doctors spot patients at higher risk sooner and adjust care earlier.
This study compares how well different hospital teams work together to treat people with traumatic brain injury. It aims to find the best care approach to help patients recover.
This study tests two different approaches to managing fluids given to brain injury patients in the ICU—one more restrictive and one more liberal—to see which is safer and more effective. The goal is to find the best balance that protects the brain while supporting overall health.
This trial tests whether breathing pure oxygen in a pressurized chamber (hyperbaric oxygen therapy) helps people recover from traumatic brain injury. It aims to see if this treatment is safe and can improve healing for patients starting rehabilitation.
