Carbon dioxide and brain waste clearance trial
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial tests if breathing in carbon dioxide helps the brain clear waste. It may show how the brain heals after a traumatic brain injury (TBI).
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 82 years old.
- You have had a traumatic brain injury (TBI) at any severity (mild, moderate, or severe) that happened when you were 18 or older.
- You are able to give your own consent to participate.
- You do not have any metal implants or devices that prevent an MRI scan, and you are not pregnant or claustrophobic.
- You have not been diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease, dementia, or mild cognitive impairment.
- You do not have a current substance use disorder, severe asthma, heart rhythm problems, or weigh less than 110 pounds.

This early study tests a special brain imaging scan that looks at brain metabolism after a recent concussion/traumatic brain injury (TBI). It may help researchers understand what’s happening in the brain soon after injury.
This trial uses brain stimulation and MRI to study memory problems in people with neurodegenerative diseases or traumatic brain injury. It aims to understand how the brain changes and may help guide future treatments.
This trial tests whether breathing pure oxygen in a pressurized chamber (hyperbaric oxygen therapy) helps people recover from traumatic brain injury. It aims to see if this treatment is safe and can improve healing for patients starting rehabilitation.
This trial uses a special MRI scan to look at how your brain uses energy after a traumatic brain injury. The goal is to better understand brain healing and find new ways to help people recover.
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 looks at how traumatic brain injury affects the connection between the gut and brain over time. You may be able to join if you took part in our earlier brain injury studies.
