This trial tests a steroid medicine called methylprednisolone to see if it can help people who have had a moderate to severe brain injury. It aims to reduce swelling in the brain and possibly improve recovery.
This trial tests whether a heart medication called a beta-blocker can help people who have had a severe traumatic brain injury. By reducing stress on the body, it may support recovery.
