Studying recovery after mild head injury in the emergency room
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study enrolls people who come to the emergency room with a mild head injury (concussion) within 24 hours of the injury. Researchers will collect a blood sample, have you wear a health monitor for 3 months, and check in by phone at 14 and 90 days to track your recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had a mild head injury (concussion) within the last 24 hours
- You are fully awake and alert (Glasgow Coma Scale score of 15) when you arrive at the emergency room
- You are willing to give a blood sample for research
- You can wear a health-monitoring device (like a smart band) for 3 months and complete daily symptom check-ins on your smartphone
- You can be reached by phone for follow-up calls at 14 days and 90 days after the injury
- You are not pregnant and can speak English or Spanish

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 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.
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 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 testing a new blood-based test to help doctors diagnose traumatic brain injury (TBI) and track recovery or complications. If you have had a head injury and a CT scan as part of your care, you may be able to join.
This trial is working to improve how doctors and nurses teach patients about mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) in the emergency room and after they go home. It may help you get clearer information and support during recovery.
