Understanding severe traumatic brain injury effects on the body
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study looks at how severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) affects the whole body. It compares people with severe TBI, trauma patients without brain injury, and healthy individuals to learn more about the body's response.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- Age 18 to 65 years old
- Have had a severe brain injury (GCS score ≤ 8, with signs of brain damage on a CT or MRI scan)

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 chemical changes in the body after a severe head injury. It aims to find markers that may help guide treatment.
This study follows people with severe injuries (including head injuries and bleeding) to better understand serious complications that can happen after trauma. Your experience may help doctors predict and prevent these complications in the future.
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 looks at how traumatic brain injury affects the connection between the gut and brain over time. You may be able to join if you took part in our earlier brain injury studies.
This study compares how well different hospital teams work together to treat people with traumatic brain injury. It aims to find the best care approach to help patients recover.
