Beta blockers after traumatic brain injury: a study
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial tests whether giving a beta blocker drug after a moderate or severe traumatic brain injury can improve recovery. It is for patients who have a brain injury but only minor or no other injuries.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have had a moderate or severe traumatic brain injury, with a GCS score of 13 or lower on admission.
- Your brain injury was confirmed by a CT scan.
- You do not have any other major injuries, only minor ones (like a simple limb fracture or a mild lung bruise).
- You were not taking beta blocker medicine before your injury.
- You do not have asthma or other conditions that cause wheezing.

This trial tests whether starting cognitive rehabilitation early after a moderate traumatic brain injury helps improve thinking, memory, and daily function. If you're an adult with a moderate brain injury who is medically stable, this study may help you regain skills faster.
This study looks at how the brain controls its own blood flow after a moderate to severe traumatic brain injury (TBI). It uses MRI scans and thinking tests to understand recovery and help improve care for people like you.
This early study tests whether a brain-stimulation method can help after recovery from a mild to moderate traumatic brain injury (TBI), sometimes called concussion. It also may include healthy volunteers to compare safety and computer-based brain measures.
This trial tests whether a type of blood pressure medication (a non-selective beta blocker) can improve recovery in adults with severe traumatic brain injury. It may help by reducing stress on the brain after injury.
This trial tests whether a common beta-blocker (metoprolol) can protect the heart from injury and reduce inflammation after a bleed in the brain (subarachnoid hemorrhage). It may help patients recover better after this type of stroke.
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.
