Preventing brain damage after carbon monoxide poisoning
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial tests if combining two common medicines, dexamethasone and N-acetylcysteine, can help prevent long-term brain problems in people who have been poisoned by carbon monoxide.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial studies nerve and brain problems that can happen after acute carbon monoxide poisoning. It looks at people who arrive soon after poisoning to better understand what happens and how to help.
This trial tests whether adding a steroid medication to standard hyperbaric oxygen therapy improves recovery for adults hospitalized with carbon monoxide poisoning.
This study takes and stores blood (and DNA) from people who were sick from carbon monoxide exposure. It’s meant to help researchers better understand the condition and what happens in the body after exposure.
This study looks at people who have been sickened by carbon monoxide (CO) from an accident or exposure. It aims to better understand what happens over time, which could help improve care and outcomes in the future.
This trial studies certain tiny particles in the blood in adults with acute carbon monoxide poisoning. It may help researchers understand what happens in the body and how well hyperbaric oxygen treatment works.
This Phase 2 trial studies whether TYNADOTE® can treat people who have taken a harmful acetaminophen (Tylenol) overdose while checking safety. It may be considered if your overdose is high enough to put you at risk for liver injury and you can follow the treatment and follow-up visits.
