Studying how severe brain injury affects the whole body
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study looks at how a severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) can affect more than just the brain. It aims to understand how the body's immune system and overall health change after a severe head injury, which may help improve care for future patients.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 18 and 65 years old.
- You must have a severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) as defined by a Glasgow Coma Scale score of 8 or less and evidence of brain damage on a scan.
- You cannot be pregnant, a prisoner, or have certain other medical conditions (like a penetrating brain injury, prior brain injury, or an autoimmune disease).
- You cannot be receiving blood transfusions at the time of arrival or be in a terminal condition.
- You must be able to provide consent to participate.

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 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 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 chemical changes in the body after a severe head injury. It aims to find markers that may help guide treatment.
This trial studies biological processes after a traumatic brain injury. It looks at brain tissue samples from patients who need surgery to remove a brain bruise to learn more about healing and injury.
