Study of S100B changes after head trauma in the ER
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study looks at changes in a protein called S100B in people who come to the emergency room with a head injury. It is an observational study, meaning no treatment is given; researchers just take blood samples to see how S100B levels change, which might help doctors better understand head injuries.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You or your child must have had a head injury less than 6 hours before arriving at the emergency room.
- You must be willing to sign a consent form (or have a parent or guardian sign for you).
- If you were unconscious after the injury, you must wake up within 6 hours of the injury to be included.
- You can be any age from newborn to 100 years old.
- Pregnant or breastfeeding women are also welcome to join.

This study looks at a blood test (S100β) that may help doctors check for brain injury. It includes healthy adults and people with mild brain injury who need a head CT scan.
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.
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 tests whether a protein called S100B in your blood can help doctors quickly figure out why you fainted or lost consciousness. A simple blood test during your emergency department visit may help doctors understand what happened.
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 study follows patients with penetrating brain injuries (when something pierces through the brain's protective covering) who arrive at the hospital within 8 hours of injury. Researchers will track their care and recovery to improve emergency treatment for these serious injuries.
