Monitoring brain activity after traumatic brain injury
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial monitors brain activity with special electrodes after a severe head injury. It aims to understand how the brain recovers by watching the electrical signals, which might help improve treatment for brain pressure.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial looks at changes in brain activity after severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) when patients need emergency skull surgery. The goal is to better understand what happens in the brain after surgery and whether earlier recognition could help care after 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 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 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 Phase 2 trial is testing a combination medication strategy to improve outcomes after severe traumatic brain injury that needs emergency brain surgery soon after the injury. It may help by affecting how injured brain cells respond, aiming to improve survival or recovery.
This study uses a non-invasive magnetic stimulation technique to measure brain activity in people who have had a traumatic brain injury (TBI). It aims to see if this tool can help doctors better understand and track recovery after a head injury.
