High-resolution MRI for concussion in the emergency department
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study uses a very powerful MRI scanner to look at the brains of people who have had a mild head injury (concussion) but whose CT scan was normal. It aims to see if this advanced scan can find subtle changes that might help doctors understand and manage concussions better.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had a head injury (bump to the head) and went to the emergency department within 4 days (96 hours) of the injury.
- You had a CT scan of your head that showed no signs of bleeding or other acute damage.
- You are between 18 and 40 years old.
- You are not pregnant, have no metal in your body that prevents an MRI, and have no major neurological conditions (like stroke, multiple sclerosis, or Parkinson's disease).
- You are able to give informed consent and can speak and understand English.

This study checks whether a stronger MRI scan (7-tesla) can help diagnose and better understand ongoing symptoms after a mild concussion. You would be scanned about 7 days after your injury to compare results with typical care.
This study uses advanced MRI brain scans to better understand brain damage after a severe head injury. It could help improve care and recovery for people with this type of injury.
This study uses MRI scans and blood tests to measure brain recovery after a concussion. It will help doctors understand how concussions affect the brain and find better ways to diagnose them.
This study looks at how a mild concussion affects brain development in young children (ages 3–5) compared to kids with other minor injuries like a broken arm. It involves one MRI scan and some simple check-ups to see how the brain heals over time.
This trial studies adults who come to the emergency department with a mild traumatic brain injury (mild TBI). The goal is to learn more about this condition and maybe find better ways to treat it.
This study is looking at people with traumatic brain injuries to improve how they are treated. If you join, you will get an MRI and other tests within the first two days after your injury, and the researchers will track your recovery over time.
