Reducing brain inflammation after injury
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial tests a new way to calm inflammation in the brain after a traumatic injury. It may help people with moderate to severe traumatic brain injury who are in the intensive care unit.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 75 years old
- You had a traumatic brain injury in the last 24 hours
- Your brain injury is considered moderate to severe (GCS score between 3 and 12)
- You are expected to stay in the intensive care unit for more than 48 hours
- You do not have any of the excluded medical conditions or treatments listed

This trial tests whether pairing vagus nerve stimulation with rehabilitation exercises can improve movement and daily function in people with long-term motor problems after a severe traumatic brain injury.
This study tests if a gentle, noninvasive nerve stimulation (on the neck) combined with computerized thinking exercises can help people recovering from a traumatic brain injury improve memory and attention. It is for adults currently in inpatient rehab who can use a keyboard and are medically stable.
This trial tests if a gentle electrical stimulation of the vagus nerve (a nerve in the neck) can help people regain consciousness after a severe traumatic brain injury. It is for patients who are in a coma or minimally conscious state, and the treatment is given along with standard ICU care.
This trial tests whether a noninvasive brain stimulation technique can help people who have suffered a traumatic brain injury (TBI), specifically those with diffuse axonal injury (DAI). It also includes healthy volunteers for comparison.
This trial tests whether a single infusion of stem cells from donated umbilical cord tissue can help calm inflammation in the brain after severe traumatic brain injury. It is for patients aged 18–50 who need brain pressure monitoring and are not responding to verbal commands 5 days after sedation is stopped.
This study tests a non-invasive deep brain stimulation technique to help people with traumatic brain injury improve their spatial navigation skills. The goal is to see if this stimulation can enhance brain function and daily life abilities.
