Blood test to speed up brain injury detection
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study looks at a blood test that may help doctors quickly detect brain damage after a head injury. By joining, you could help improve how doctors evaluate and treat head injuries 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 study looks at whether certain substances in the blood can help doctors better diagnose and treat people who have had a traumatic brain injury within the past 24 hours. If you have had a head injury and are between 18 and 65 years old, you might be able to join.
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.
This study looks at whether routine blood tests taken in the emergency room can help doctors predict if a child with a minor head injury might have a brain injury. The goal is to find simple, quick ways to identify children who may need extra care.
This study tests whether a quick blood test can help doctors decide if a child with a head injury needs a CT scan. It aims to reduce unnecessary CT scans by checking for brain injury markers in the blood.
