NCT ID NCT04855396

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study looks at whether certain proteins in the blood can help doctors monitor severe traumatic brain injury and predict who might benefit from hyperbaric oxygen therapy. Researchers will analyze blood samples from 150 patients already enrolled in a larger trial testing different doses of hyperbaric oxygen. The goal is to find reliable markers that could make future treatment more personalized and clinical trials more effective.
