First seen Mar 07, 2026 · Last updated May 13, 2026 · Updated 8 times

Summary

This study tests whether a simple ultrasound of the brain's blood vessels can safely identify mild traumatic brain injury patients who can go home right from the emergency room. About 550 adults with mild head injuries will be randomly assigned to either the ultrasound-based decision or standard care. The goal is to see if the ultrasound approach is just as good at preventing long-term problems.
