Summary

This study looks at whether a new blood test can help emergency room doctors better assess patients with mild traumatic brain injury (TBI). The test checks for brain injury markers in the blood and may reduce the need for CT scans. Researchers will study how well the test works in 340 adults with mild head injuries and identify any barriers to using it in everyday practice.
