Tracking recovery in older adults with traumatic brain injury
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study observes older adults (65+) who have had a recent head injury to understand how they recover over time. It may help improve care for seniors with brain trauma.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 65 years or older.
- You had a head injury within the last 3 days (or 14 days for Veterans).
- You had a CT scan of your brain in the hospital.
- You can speak English or Chinese (at UCSF only).
- You have a friend or family member who knows you well and can join as a study partner.
- You do not have other serious injuries or conditions that would make follow-up hard.

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 looks at the experiences of people with traumatic brain injury who are joining observational clinical trials. It aims to understand how these trials work and how they can be improved for patients like you.
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 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 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.
This study uses a quick MRI scan to check brain function and predict recovery after a traumatic brain injury. It may help researchers develop better ways to assess and treat TBI patients.
