Mild TBI study in the emergency room
This trial studies adults who come to the emergency department with a mild traumatic brain injury (mild TBI). The goal is to learn more about this condition and maybe find better ways to treat it.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You are seen in the emergency department
- You have a mild traumatic brain injury (mild TBI)
- Your Glasgow Coma Scale score is between 13 and 15
- You did NOT lose consciousness for more than 30 minutes because of the injury
- You did NOT have memory loss (amnesia) after the injury that lasted more than 24 hours

This study looks at how people with mild head injuries are treated and recover. It may help doctors improve care for patients who have a mild head injury and get a brain scan.
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 trial is working to improve how doctors and nurses teach patients about mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) in the emergency room and after they go home. It may help you get clearer information and support during 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.
This trial tests a rapid blood test (i-STAT Alinity) to help diagnose mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) in people who come to the emergency department after a blow to the head. The goal is to see if this blood test can reduce the need for CT scans.
This study looks at how past mild traumatic brain injury may contribute to brain changes seen in chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) and Alzheimer’s disease (AD). It may help researchers understand risk and brain markers by comparing people with mild or moderate TBI, people with mild memory problems, and healthy controls.
