Testing a continuous infusion of a treatment for traumatic brain injury
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial tests whether starting a continuous infusion of a concentrated salt solution (HSS) early in the ICU can improve brain recovery at 6 months in patients with traumatic brain injury. It may help control brain swelling and pressure.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are in the intensive care unit (ICU) after a traumatic brain injury.
- Your Glasgow Coma Scale score is 12 or less (meaning you are not fully awake).
- Your doctor has decided to place a monitor to measure pressure inside your skull.
- You can be included within the first 12 hours after that monitor is placed.
- You or a family member can give consent, and you have national health insurance.

This study compares two medicines, mannitol and hypertonic saline, to see which one works better at reducing pressure inside the skull after a severe head injury. The pressure is measured using a simple ultrasound test on the eye, avoiding more invasive methods.
This trial tests giving a simple salt solution (sodium lactate) to people with severe traumatic brain injury. The goal is to see if it can reduce swelling and improve recovery.
This trial compares two types of intravenous fluids (saline vs. balanced crystalloids) given to people with traumatic brain injury when they arrive in the emergency room. The goal is to find out which fluid leads to better outcomes.
This study tests two different approaches to managing fluids given to brain injury patients in the ICU—one more restrictive and one more liberal—to see which is safer and more effective. The goal is to find the best balance that protects the brain while supporting overall health.
This trial studies how to time medication or treatment doses when a person has serious brain injury, using measurements from a pressure monitor in the skull. It may help doctors manage brain swelling and pressure more effectively.
This trial tests a new way to manage brain pressure after a severe head injury. The goal is to improve blood flow to the brain, which may help recovery.
