ECG changes and death risk in isolated traumatic brain injury
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study looks at whether changes on an electrocardiogram (ECG, a heart tracing) can help predict the risk of death in adults who have an isolated traumatic brain injury (only a head injury, no other major injuries). The goal is to see if simple heart readings can give doctors early warning.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years of age or older.
- You have a traumatic brain injury (TBI) without any other serious injuries.
- You did not have a cardiac arrest before reaching the emergency room.
- You do not have a known heart condition.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study uses brain scans (MRI) to understand how a traumatic brain injury can affect the heart. It may help find better ways to treat the brain-heart connection after a head injury.
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 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 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.
This study collects medical and test information from people who have a confirmed brain injury (TBI) and arrive at the emergency room within 12 hours. Doctors hope the collected clinical and lab data will help better understand TBI and improve future care.
This study follows people with a moderate, non-penetrating traumatic brain injury (TBI) to see how small blood-vessel damage changes over time. It uses brain scans to learn what happens after a serious accident, which may help improve future care.
