Study of severe low sodium and brain safety during treatment
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This is a retrospective study (meaning researchers look back at medical records) of patients who had very low sodium levels in their blood when admitted to the hospital. Researchers want to understand the link between how quickly doctors correct low sodium and a rare brain condition called osmotic demyelination syndrome.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You were admitted to a hospital with a blood sodium level of 110 mmol/L or lower
- Your medical records are available for review by the research team
- You do not have blood sugar (glucose) higher than 15 mmol/L at the time of measurement
- Your sodium blood test results are accurate and not affected by other factors like high blood sugar

This observational study measures how body fluid and electrolytes change in adults with low blood sodium caused by low “tonicity” (not diluted by high sugar or other causes). It may help clinicians better understand which treatment approaches keep sodium levels safer and more stable.
This study tests a simple procedure called a saline infusion test, where you get a mild saltwater solution through an IV, to see how well your body handles low sodium. Your sodium levels will be monitored to understand why your sodium is low and help guide your treatment.
This study tests a fast method of giving fluids by IV to quickly correct very high blood sodium levels. The goal is to restore balance safely without causing complications.
This study looks at new ways to quickly check how well low sodium (caused by a common water pill called thiazide) is being treated in the hospital. If you have low sodium and take a thiazide pill, this trial may help doctors find better treatment methods.
This trial tests whether urea can help treat dangerously low sodium levels in patients with SIAD (a condition where the body retains too much water) who haven't responded to drinking less fluid. Urea is a naturally occurring substance that may help restore normal sodium balance.
This trial tests giving a simple salt solution (sodium lactate) to people with severe traumatic brain injury. The goal is to see if it can reduce swelling and improve recovery.
