Quick blood test for brain injury after trauma
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial tests a rapid blood test to measure brain injury markers in people with traumatic brain injury (TBI). The goal is to see if these markers can help quickly assess the severity of the injury in the emergency room.

This study uses a blood test to help doctors better understand and manage mild traumatic brain injury (concussion). If you had a mild head injury in the past 12 hours and have certain symptoms, researchers want to check if a new blood-based approach can improve care.
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 trial tests a rapid blood test (i-STAT Alinity) to help diagnose mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) in people who come to the emergency department after a blow to the head. The goal is to see if this blood test can reduce the need for CT scans.
This trial tests a new blood test that can help doctors quickly check if you have a brain injury after a head injury. It may help you avoid a CT scan if the blood test shows you are likely fine.
This study is looking for people with a recent traumatic brain injury (within 24 hours) to see if testing certain proteins in the blood can help doctors better diagnose and treat the injury.
This study is testing whether a blood test can detect traumatic brain injury (TBI) in children. If successful, it could offer a quicker, less invasive way to diagnose concussions and other head injuries, reducing the need for CT scans or MRIs.
