Predicting recovery after severe brain injury
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are over 18 years old.
- You have a severe brain injury (Glasgow Coma Scale score of 8 or less after being stabilized).
- Your doctors have decided you need a monitor in your brain to check pressure or oxygen levels.
- You can be enrolled while you are in the intensive care unit (ICU).
- You are not pregnant (if female).
- You are not showing signs of imminent brain death (like fixed, dilated pupils).
- You do not have bleeding problems or a skull fracture that makes brain monitoring unsafe.
- You are not a prisoner.

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 trial tests a new way to manage brain pressure after a severe head injury. The goal is to improve blood flow to the brain, which may help recovery.
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 information from children who had a serious head injury. It uses data from special brain monitors to help doctors decide how to best manage these injuries.
This study enrolls people who come to the emergency room with a mild head injury (concussion) within 24 hours of the injury. Researchers will collect a blood sample, have you wear a health monitor for 3 months, and check in by phone at 14 and 90 days to track your recovery.
This study collects medical and test information from people who have a confirmed brain injury (TBI) and arrive at the emergency room within 12 hours. Doctors hope the collected clinical and lab data will help better understand TBI and improve future care.
