NCT ID NCT05413499
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether measuring two proteins in the blood (GFAP and UCH-L1) can help doctors safely avoid CT scans in children with mild traumatic brain injury. Over 1,500 children across Europe participated. The goal was to see if these blood tests are accurate enough to detect serious brain injuries and predict recovery, potentially reducing radiation exposure from CT scans.
