First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study will test a device called Delphi-MD that uses magnetic pulses and brain wave recordings to diagnose traumatic brain injury (TBI). Researchers will compare results from 215 people with TBI to healthy controls, looking for patterns that could help identify and assess brain damage. The goal is to find a more accurate way to diagnose TBI, especially when standard scans are normal.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

Delphi-MD device (transcranial magnetic stimulation with EEG)

What this could lead to

If successful, this could provide a more objective way to diagnose and assess traumatic brain injury, helping doctors better understand a patient's condition.

What could go wrong

This is an early-stage study with 215 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The device is still experimental and not yet proven for routine use.
