Memantine for brain recovery after mild to moderate injury
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a medicine called memantine can help the brain heal after a mild or moderate head injury. It aims to improve recovery by protecting brain blood vessels and nerve cells.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You had a head injury that did not go through the skin and needed to be in the hospital
- Your injury was within the last 24 hours when you arrived at the hospital
- You can start the study within 72 hours of being admitted
- You are able to have a special MRI scan (with contrast dye)
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding, and you are not currently in jail or prison
- You have not taken certain medicines (NMDA-R blockers) for 30 days before the injury, and you are not allergic to them
- Your kidney function is normal (no kidney disease that would make it unsafe)

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests whether memantine, a medicine usually used for memory problems, can help people recover from mild to moderate traumatic brain injury. You would receive memantine along with your standard care, starting within 24 hours of the injury.
This study tests whether a gentle, non-invasive electrical stimulation can help slow memory loss or thinking problems. It is looking for healthy volunteers and people who have had a mild traumatic brain injury within the past year.
This trial tests a type of brain stimulation to help with day-to-day functioning in people who have alcohol use disorder and a history of mild traumatic brain injury. It also uses brain and symptom testing to see who may benefit most and why.
This study tests an investigational treatment to improve outcomes after a recent non-penetrating traumatic brain injury (like a fall or car crash). It uses early CT/MRI imaging and a blood test soon after injury to see who benefits and how well the treatment works.
This trial studies whether brain stimulation through the scalp can improve cognitive (thinking and memory) training in people with chronic mild traumatic brain injury (TBI). Participants train on thinking tasks while receiving a targeted “control network neuromodulation” approach to see if it enhances training results.
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.
