Could a common supplement boost young brains after injury?

This study tests whether giving creatine monohydrate, a popular sports supplement, twice a day for 12 weeks is safe and practical for children and teenagers recovering from a moderate-to-severe brain injury, including traumatic brain injury or stroke. The trial will enroll 46 participants who are within three months of their injury. The main goals are to see if families are willing to join, stick with the supplement routine, and whether it affects kidney function. If successful, this could pave the way for larger studies to see if creatine actually improves brain recovery.
