Blood tests for better head injury care
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 65 years old.
- Your head injury happened within the last 24 hours.
- You have a mild, moderate, or severe traumatic brain injury (based on the Glasgow Coma Scale).
- You do not have any other major injuries (like to your body, face, or spine).
- This is the first time you've been admitted to the hospital for this injury.

This study looks at how certain brain proteins (called biomarkers) behave in the blood after an acute brain injury. The goal is to see if these proteins can help doctors quickly assess the severity of the injury. Participation involves giving blood samples at specific times after your injury.
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 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 is testing whether a quick eye-tracking test, along with a blood test, can tell doctors if you need a head CT scan after a mild brain injury and help predict how quickly you'll recover.
This study looks at whether routine blood tests can help predict if a child has a brain injury after a mild head injury. The goal is to find simple ways to know what might happen without needing extra, sometimes painful, procedures.
