Sodium Lactate for Severe Brain Injury
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests whether a medicine called sodium lactate can help people with severe traumatic brain injury. It is for adults who have a very serious head injury and are in the intensive care unit.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 18 and 80 years old
- You must have a severe brain injury (GCS score 3 to 8)
- A CT scan must show a new brain injury
- You cannot have diabetes, certain other brain conditions, or serious injuries to other parts of the body
- Your blood tests must be within healthy ranges (like sodium, kidney and liver function, and clotting)

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests whether a low dose of ketamine can help people with severe traumatic brain injury by reducing brain pressure and improving oxygen levels. If you have a brain monitor in place and meet safety criteria, you may be able to join.
This study tests a drug called cyclosporine to see if it can help people with moderate to severe traumatic brain injury. You may be eligible if you have a brain injury seen on CT and can start treatment within 24 hours.
This trial tests two medicines, levetiracetam and lacosamide, to see which works better at preventing seizures in people who have had a traumatic brain injury. The goal is to find the safest and most effective way to protect your brain 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 study tests a drug called Angiotensin (1-7) to see if it helps people recover from moderate to severe traumatic brain injury. It may reduce damage and improve healing when given shortly after the injury.
This Phase 2 trial studies whether breathing oxygen in a pressurized chamber can improve outcomes after a severe traumatic brain injury. It is mainly for people with very low consciousness levels soon after injury, with careful safety checks.
