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 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 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 tests whether a blood protein called S100B can help doctors figure out why someone fainted or lost consciousness. If successful, it could lead to faster and more accurate diagnoses in the emergency room.
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 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 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.
