IV Pain and Symptom Relief After Head Injury
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study compares two injected medications—metoclopramide and acetaminophen—to see which works better at relieving pain and other symptoms after a concussion. Both are common medications, and the goal is to find the safest and most effective treatment for people seen in the emergency room shortly after a head injury.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are an adult (18 or older) visiting an emergency room

This trial tests whether a Medrol “dose pack” (a short course of steroid medicine taken by mouth) can reduce acute headache pain after a concussion. It may help people whose concussion headaches are frequent and severe soon after injury.
This trial compares two anti-nausea medicines (fosaprepitant and metoclopramide) given in the emergency room to see which works better for adults with nausea or vomiting. If you qualify, you would receive one of the study medications and have follow-up calls to check how you're feeling.
This trial tests three common sedatives (propofol, midazolam, and dexmedetomidine) to see which works best for controlling pressure inside the skull after a traumatic brain injury. The goal is to find the safest and most effective option for patients in the intensive care unit.
This study tests three different medications—theophylline, sumatriptan, and gabapentin—to see which works best for headaches that occur after a spinal procedure. You would receive one of these treatments and be monitored to see how well it relieves your pain.
This trial tests if a combination of pain medicines (paracetamol and mannitol) given after surgery can reduce confusion or delirium in older patients in the ICU. It is for people aged 60 or older who have moderate to severe pain after a non-heart surgery.
This research study tests whether a medication called metoclopramide (used to stop nausea and vomiting), with or without a steroid called dexamethasone, can help people having emergency surgery after a serious injury. It looks at how quickly your stomach empties before surgery, which may reduce the risk of complications.
