This trial tests whether vitamin D supplements can help people recover after a specific type of stroke (intracerebral hemorrhage). It is for adults who had a moderate-sized bleed in the upper part of the brain within the last 4 days and were otherwise independent before the stroke.
This trial looks at how vitamin D levels relate to bone strength and daily function in people with neurological disorders. If you have a neurological condition or are healthy, you may join to help understand how vitamin D affects bone health.
This trial tests whether a medicine called dexamethasone, which reduces swelling, can improve recovery after a mild or moderate brain injury. It might help by decreasing pressure inside the skull.
This study tests whether giving magnesium sulfate (a common mineral supplement) soon after a moderate head injury can reduce brain swelling and inflammation. It aims to see if this treatment helps protect the brain and improve recovery.
This trial tests whether starting vitamin D3 soon after ICU admission helps critically ill adults with low vitamin D levels. It may help correct low vitamin D and possibly improve recovery, depending on your health situation.
This trial tests whether taking an anti–blood clot medicine (dalteparin) and using leg compression can reduce dangerous blood clots after a severe traumatic brain injury. It may help lower the chance of clots forming when people are immobile and at higher risk.
