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 tests whether a hyperosmolar agent (a substance that draws fluid out of the brain) can reduce swelling and pressure inside the skull in adults with severe traumatic brain injury. The pressure is monitored using ultrasound of the optic nerve, and the goal is to find a safe and effective way to lower it.
This trial studies how to improve care for patients who come to the emergency room with a brain bleed not caused by injury. The goal is to find better ways to manage recovery and outcomes.
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 if adjusting treatment to maintain optimal blood flow in the brain can improve recovery after a severe traumatic brain injury. It may help patients who need close monitoring of brain pressure in the ICU.
