Growth hormone after brain injury in older adults
Treatments studied
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests if giving a human growth hormone can help older adults recover from a serious brain injury. It is for patients who have low protein levels in their blood, which may slow down healing.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Age 60 or older
- Hospitalized for a moderate to severe recent brain injury (like a head injury, stroke, or brain bleed)
- Low levels of a protein called albumin or prealbumin in your blood, which can affect healing
- Able to provide consent yourself or have a family member do it for you
- Not have cancer, certain eye problems from diabetes, or unstable vital signs

This study tests whether a hormone treatment called hCG can help men recover brain function after a moderate to severe traumatic brain injury (TBI). The treatment lasts 24 weeks, and researchers will track changes in thinking, mood, and daily functioning.
This study tests whether starting a growth hormone treatment early helps a baby’s thinking and learning development. It is for babies who are small for their gestational age and show delays on a developmental screening test.
This study tests if growth hormone can help people with long-term stomach paralysis (gastroparesis) that hasn't improved with standard care. It looks at whether the treatment reduces symptoms like nausea and feeling full too quickly.
This trial tests a new growth hormone treatment called GenSci134 in healthy adults and adults with growth hormone deficiency (AGHD). The goal is to see if it is safe and effective for people who need growth hormone replacement.
