NCT ID NCT03999164
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at 30 people who have had a moderate to severe traumatic brain injury. Researchers use special PET scans to measure inflammation in the brain at two weeks and two months after the injury. The goal is to see if the amount of inflammation is linked to a higher risk of developing epilepsy later on.
