Hormone treatment to help recovery after brain injury
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests whether a hormone called hCG can help people recover from a moderate to severe traumatic brain injury. The treatment is given for 24 weeks and may help improve brain function and rehabilitation.

This trial tests a steroid medicine called methylprednisolone to see if it can help people who have had a moderate to severe brain injury. It aims to reduce swelling in the brain and possibly improve recovery.
This study looks at how a traumatic brain injury might affect your body's growth hormone, which is important for energy, strength, and overall health. If you've had a brain injury and still have symptoms a year later, you may be able to help researchers learn more and possibly find better treatments.
This study tests a drug called cyclosporine to see if it can help people with moderate to severe traumatic brain injury. You may be eligible if you have a brain injury seen on CT and can start treatment within 24 hours.
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 trial tests whether giving steroids can reduce brain swelling after a mild or moderate head injury. If you or a loved one had a brain injury within the last few days and the CT scan shows bruising, this study may offer extra treatment to help control swelling.
This study tests a drug called Angiotensin (1-7) to see if it helps people recover from moderate to severe traumatic brain injury. It may reduce damage and improve healing when given shortly after the injury.
