Studying brain proteins after acute brain injury
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study looks at certain proteins in the fluid around the brain and in the blood after a cardiac arrest. These proteins may help doctors predict how the patient will recover, which could guide their care.
This study looks at whether certain substances in the blood can help doctors better diagnose and treat people who have had a traumatic brain injury within the past 24 hours. If you have had a head injury and are between 18 and 65 years old, you might be able to join.
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.
This study is testing new tools and markers to better predict recovery after cardiac arrest when brain injury may occur. It involves adults who had a cardiac arrest outside the hospital and are being treated at Saint-Luc hospital.
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 looks at a blood test that may help doctors quickly detect brain damage after a head injury. By joining, you could help improve how doctors evaluate and treat head injuries in the emergency room.
