Blood tests to predict brain injury in children after mild head trauma
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study looks at whether routine blood tests can help predict if a child has a brain injury after a mild head injury. The goal is to find simple ways to know what might happen without needing extra, sometimes painful, procedures.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child is between 0 and 18 years old.
- Your child had a mild head injury (they were awake and alert or just slightly drowsy).
- Your child had a CT scan of the head as part of their care.
- Your child had routine blood tests (like a complete blood count or basic blood chemistries) collected.
- Your child did not have other injuries like broken bones or organ damage.
- The head injury was not moderate or severe.

This study screens teens aged 11 to 17 for emotional and mental health problems after a mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI, also called concussion or minor head injury). The goal is to find out if the hospital screening helps identify teens who may need extra support.
This study is testing whether a quick eye-tracking test, along with a blood test, can tell doctors if you need a head CT scan after a mild brain injury and help predict how quickly you'll recover.
This study uses a blood test to help doctors better understand and manage mild traumatic brain injury (concussion). If you had a mild head injury in the past 12 hours and have certain symptoms, researchers want to check if a new blood-based approach can improve care.
This study is looking for people with a recent traumatic brain injury (within 24 hours) to see if testing certain proteins in the blood can help doctors better diagnose and treat the injury.
This study is testing a new blood-based test to help doctors diagnose traumatic brain injury (TBI) and track recovery or complications. If you have had a head injury and a CT scan as part of your care, you may be able to join.
This study is testing whether a blood test can detect traumatic brain injury (TBI) in children. If successful, it could offer a quicker, less invasive way to diagnose concussions and other head injuries, reducing the need for CT scans or MRIs.
