Long-term recovery and gut-brain health after brain injury
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study looks at how the brain and gut recover over the long term after a traumatic brain injury. If you were in an earlier study, you may be able to join and help doctors understand how to improve recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have been part of our earlier studies (TBIcare or PACoS-TBI) after a traumatic brain injury.
- You must be willing to have a colonoscopy (a tube exam of your bowel) and standard prep, unless you're only doing the brain MRI part.
- You must not have taken antibiotics or probiotics in the past month.
- You must not have serious gut conditions like inflammatory bowel disease, poorly controlled celiac disease, or recent colorectal cancer.
- If you are a control (without brain injury), you must not have had a brain injury or other brain disorder since the earlier study.
- You can still join other parts of the study even if you can't have an MRI (for example, due to a pacemaker or weight limits).

Similar studies
Other trials that look related to this one.
This study is looking at people with traumatic brain injuries to improve how they are treated. If you join, you will get an MRI and other tests within the first two days after your injury, and the researchers will track your recovery over time.
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 follows people with a moderate, non-penetrating traumatic brain injury (TBI) to see how small blood-vessel damage changes over time. It uses brain scans to learn what happens after a serious accident, which may help improve future care.
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.
This study uses a quick MRI scan to check brain function and predict recovery after a traumatic brain injury. It may help researchers develop better ways to assess and treat TBI patients.
This trial studies biological processes after a traumatic brain injury. It looks at brain tissue samples from patients who need surgery to remove a brain bruise to learn more about healing and injury.
