Brain scan study after severe head injury
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study uses advanced MRI brain scans to better understand brain damage after a severe head injury. It could help improve care and recovery for people with this type of injury.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 60 years old.
- You have been admitted to the hospital with a moderate to severe head injury (not a penetrating wound).
- You are on a breathing machine (ventilator) and are under continuous sedation.
- A family member has been informed and has signed a consent form.
- You are not pregnant, not breastfeeding, and not under legal guardianship.
- You have no history of previous head injury, stroke, or brain diseases.
- You have no metal implants or other reasons that make MRI scans unsafe.

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 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 uses a non-invasive magnetic stimulation technique to measure brain activity in people who have had a traumatic brain injury (TBI). It aims to see if this tool can help doctors better understand and track recovery after a head injury.
This study uses brain scans (MRI) to understand how a traumatic brain injury can affect the heart. It may help find better ways to treat the brain-heart connection after a head injury.
This study uses a quick MRI scan to check brain function and predict recovery after a traumatic brain injury. It may help researchers develop better ways to assess and treat TBI patients.
This study checks whether a stronger MRI scan (7-tesla) can help diagnose and better understand ongoing symptoms after a mild concussion. You would be scanned about 7 days after your injury to compare results with typical care.
