Setting treatment targets for severe head injury in children
Part of Brain & nervous system, Cancer, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study looks at information from children who had a serious head injury. It uses data from special brain monitors to help doctors decide how to best manage these injuries.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- The injury happened before the child's 18th birthday
- Special monitors were used in intensive care to check pressure inside the skull and blood pressure
- The monitors recorded data for at least 6 hours
- The child's recovery was checked about 6 months after the injury

This trial tests a new, non-invasive way to monitor pressure inside the skull for people with traumatic brain injury. It compares the new device to the standard invasive method already being used in your care.
This trial tests a new way to manage brain pressure after a severe head injury. The goal is to improve blood flow to the brain, which may help recovery.
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 trial studies how to time medication or treatment doses when a person has serious brain injury, using measurements from a pressure monitor in the skull. It may help doctors manage brain swelling and pressure more effectively.
This study measures how well blood flows to your child's brain while they're in the intensive care unit on a breathing machine. Understanding this flow may help doctors better care for critically ill children.
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.
