Inflammation and nutrition in severe brain injury patients
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at how inflammation and nutrition levels affect recovery in people with severe brain injuries who are in the intensive care unit. It measures these factors over time to help improve care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are between 18 and 80 years old.
- You have a severe brain injury from conditions like stroke or brain infection.
- You are expected to stay in the intensive care unit for at least 7 days.

This study tests whether giving different amounts of protein to patients in the neurosurgical ICU affects their recovery and outcomes. It aims to find the best protein dose for people with severe brain injuries or strokes.
This study looks at how your immune system and inflammation affect your recovery in the intensive care unit. Researchers want to understand why some patients do better than others.
This study tests a special brain-monitoring system in the ICU for people with severe brain injuries. It aims to give doctors early warnings about changes in the brain and help predict recovery, which may improve treatment and outcomes.
This study tests a special liquid formula (semi-elemental nutrition) given through a feeding tube to people with severe traumatic brain injury. It aims to see if this formula is easier on the stomach and causes fewer digestive problems than standard tube feeds.
This study tests a special recovery program for people with serious brain injuries or strokes who need intensive care. The program focuses on helping you heal faster after surgery.
This study looks at gut bacteria changes in people in the ICU with severe brain injury or multiple trauma/shock. It uses a noninvasive breathing measurement to see how energy needs relate to the gut's microbes.
