NCT ID NCT05951777

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

Summary

This study tests whether a single IV infusion of stem cells taken from a patient's own belly fat can safely improve brain structure and thinking skills after a traumatic brain injury. The trial enrolls 51 adults aged 18-55 who have had a brain injury for at least 6 months but no more than 20 years. Researchers will monitor blood tests and brain scans to see if the treatment reduces inflammation and helps repair damage.
