First seen Jan 09, 2026 · Last updated May 01, 2026 · Updated 16 times
Summary
This study looks at whether a blood test measuring two brain proteins (GFAP and UCH-L1) can safely tell doctors that a CT scan isn't needed for patients with mild traumatic brain injury. Researchers will compare 1,000 ER patients managed with this test to a similar group from the past who didn't have it. The goal is to reduce unnecessary CT scans, radiation exposure, and time spent in the emergency room.
