Long-term hormone changes after childhood head injury
Part of Brain & nervous system, Hormones & metabolism, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study follows children who had moderate to severe head injuries to see if their pituitary gland (which controls growth and other hormones) was affected. Researchers want to understand long-term health effects and improve care for injured children.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child had a traumatic brain injury (head injury) serious enough to require intensive care admission
- Your child was between 2 months and 16 years old when they were injured
- Your child was enrolled in the original ENDOC TC study in Lyon, France
- Your child had a Glasgow Coma Scale score between 3 and 12 at the time of injury (a measure of how severe the injury was)
- You (or your child, if an adult) are willing to participate in long-term follow-up visits

This study looks at how a parent's background and understanding of health information might affect whether a child with a minor head injury gets a CT scan. It aims to better understand these factors to improve care.
This study follows children who had brain radiation for cancer to check for early hormone changes. It aims to catch and treat any hormone problems sooner.
This study looks at a way of measuring and responding to high pressure inside the brain in children after a non-penetrating head injury. It may help doctors decide which monitoring approach works best for children who are very sick right after injury or become worse quickly.
This study looks at how a mild concussion affects brain development in young children (ages 3–5) compared to kids with other minor injuries like a broken arm. It involves one MRI scan and some simple check-ups to see how the brain heals over time.
This trial is studying how headaches from pseudotumor cerebri (a condition of increased pressure around the brain) change over 10 years in people who were diagnosed as children. It might help doctors understand the long-term effects of this condition.
This research study investigates tumors and disorders of the pituitary gland (a small gland that controls many body hormones) and related areas of the brain. You may qualify if you have a pituitary tumor or disorder, or if you have a family history of these conditions.
