Blood test for traumatic brain injury diagnosis and monitoring
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had a hit to the head or a sudden stop that could cause a brain injury
- You had a CT scan of your brain in the emergency room for that injury
- If you were admitted to the hospital, a CT scan showed signs of a new brain injury
- You are not currently in jail or prison
- You can have an MRI and do not have serious health conditions that would make follow-up difficult

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 checks whether two blood proteins (GFAP and UCH-L1) can help identify which brain spots are linked to a significant head injury after a concussion. You may be able to help by providing a blood sample and getting a CT scan as part of usual care, so doctors can better sort out injury risk.
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 collects medical and test information from people who have a confirmed brain injury (TBI) and arrive at the emergency room within 12 hours. Doctors hope the collected clinical and lab data will help better understand TBI and improve future care.
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 trial tests whether a special blood clotting test called thromboelastography can help assess clotting problems after a head injury. It may help doctors better understand bleeding risk and related complications early after trauma.
