Study on energy and protein in severe brain injury patients
Part of Brain & nervous system, Hormones & metabolism, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study measures how your body uses energy and protein if you are in the ICU with a severe brain injury while on a breathing machine. It can help doctors better understand your recovery needs.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are at least 18 years old.
- You have a severe brain injury (like from a stroke, trauma, or infection) and are in the ICU.
- You are on a breathing machine (ventilator) with a tube in your airway.
- You are able to agree (or have a family member agree for you) to take part in the study.
- You do not have any major health issues that would interfere, such as heart failure, kidney failure, or active cancer.

This trial studies how different amounts of protein affect recovery in patients with severe brain injuries or conditions. It aims to find the best protein dose to improve outcomes in the intensive care unit.
This trial looks at how inflammation and metabolism affect recovery in patients with severe brain injury who need intensive care and feeding through a tube. It aims to find better ways to predict outcomes.
This study looks at how the body produces energy in critically ill patients on breathing machines. It compares energy production between ICU patients and healthy volunteers to find better ways to support recovery.
This trial tests whether electrical muscle stimulation plus extra protein (protein substitute) can improve muscle health and metabolism in critically ill adults in the ICU. If you’re newly admitted and expected to stay on a breathing machine for several days, it may help you keep more muscle strength during recovery.
This study tests new technology to measure how your body uses energy and nutrients during rehabilitation after a stroke or motor injury. It may help design better nutrition plans for your recovery.
This study looks at gut bacteria changes in people in the ICU with severe brain injury or multiple trauma/shock. It uses a noninvasive breathing measurement to see how energy needs relate to the gut's microbes.
