Study of new care methods for penetrating brain injuries
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests new ways to improve care for people with a penetrating brain injury, which happens when an object goes through the skull and into the brain. It aims to find better treatments that could help recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 16 years old or older
- You have a penetrating brain injury confirmed by a doctor or imaging
- You can be enrolled within 8 hours of the injury
- You are not pregnant or a prisoner
- You do not have other serious injuries to other parts of the body

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at patients with severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) who already need brain pressure or oxygen monitoring. Doctors want to see if certain tests can help predict how well someone might recover.
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 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 study collects medical and test information from people who have a confirmed brain injury (TBI) and arrive at the emergency room within 12 hours. Doctors hope the collected clinical and lab data will help better understand TBI and improve future care.
This study is testing a new blood-based test to help doctors diagnose traumatic brain injury (TBI) and track recovery or complications. If you have had a head injury and a CT scan as part of your care, you may be able to join.
This study looks at how certain brain proteins (called biomarkers) behave in the blood after an acute brain injury. The goal is to see if these proteins can help doctors quickly assess the severity of the injury. Participation involves giving blood samples at specific times after your injury.
