BRAIN INJURIES

This study will test a portable, low-field MRI machine to see how well it detects brain injuries from lack of oxygen or blood flow in children. About 200 kids in intensive care will get both a portable and a standard MRI. The goal is to find out if the portable version is accurat…

This study tests whether giving anti-epileptic drugs right after a traumatic brain injury can prevent seizures. About 70 adults with moderate to severe head injuries will receive either the drug or standard care. Researchers will track seizure episodes and recovery over 3 months …

This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called tDCS, combined with computer-based cognitive training, can improve memory, attention, and multitasking in veterans with mild traumatic brain injury and PTSD. Forty-six veterans will receive either real or …

This study watches brain activity in 300 adults during high-risk surgeries like heart or spine operations. Researchers use special monitors to track brain waves and pressure, linking them to patient outcomes. The goal is to understand why some people develop confusion or brain in…

This study will enroll 50 people with severe brain injuries to see if combining different types of monitoring—like blood sugar levels, brain waves, and blood flow—can help predict how well they will recover. Researchers will follow participants for 6 months to check their neurolo…

This study will follow 50 people with brain hemorrhage to see if a feature called the 'spot sign' on CT scans can predict who is at higher risk of death or disability. Researchers will compare these scan findings with standard risk scores. The goal is to improve early identificat…
