Blood Protein Test to Help Diagnose Fainting Episodes
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests whether a protein called S100B in your blood can help doctors quickly figure out why you fainted or lost consciousness. A simple blood test during your emergency department visit may help doctors understand what happened.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial studies a new way of analyzing EEG results to help doctors decide if a first suspected seizure was caused by epilepsy. If you had a first seizure and your EEG did not show clear signs of epilepsy, this test might improve your diagnosis.
This research study looks for specific immune system markers (autoantibodies) in the blood and spinal fluid of people who have recently started having focal seizures (seizures that start in one part of the brain) with no known cause. Finding these markers could help doctors understand why the seizures started.
This trial looks at blood “inflammation-related” biomarkers to understand what happens early after certain sudden brain events. It may help doctors predict outcomes and tailor treatment for people like those with stroke types that sometimes need a clot-removal procedure.
This study looks at changes in a protein called S100B in people who come to the emergency room with a head injury. It is an observational study, meaning no treatment is given; researchers just take blood samples to see how S100B levels change, which might help doctors better understand head injuries.
This study looks at a blood test (S100β) that may help doctors check for brain injury. It includes healthy adults and people with mild brain injury who need a head CT scan.
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.
