Blast Injury Study for Special Operations Military Personnel
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This research follows active-duty special operations forces to understand how blast exposure affects the brain and body over time. Researchers will use MRI scans and other tests to track health changes and improve care for service members.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are currently on active duty in the U.S. military
- You serve in Special Operations Forces (SOF)
- You are between 18 and 50 years old
- You are able to safely undergo MRI scanning
- You do not have embedded metal fragments (like shrapnel) that would interfere with MRI
- You are able to participate without significant safety risks or data-collection problems

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 looks at brain health in people exposed to blast overpressure during explosive breaching training. Participants will wear EEG headsets to measure brain activity. It might help understand how these exposures affect the brain.
This study looks for early signs of brain injury in Navy SEALs who are repeatedly exposed to blasts. It uses advanced scans and biomarkers to find changes that might lead to problems later on.
This trial tests ways to improve treatment for active-duty service members who have had a mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) and still have symptoms. It aims to find the best approach to help them recover.
This study tests a practical rehabilitation approach for people with a recent mild concussion (mTBI). You may be able to join if your injury happened recently and your symptoms match a “mild” concussion pattern on your medical record.
This trial tests if a remote brain stimulation device can improve attention and concentration in active-duty service members who have had a mild traumatic brain injury. Participants use the device at home while completing tasks to help with daily focus.
