NCT ID NCT03687528
First seen Jan 10, 2026 · Last updated May 23, 2026 · Updated 24 times
Summary
This study looks at whether patients who take antiplatelet drugs (like aspirin) and have a minor head injury but no other signs of brain bleeding can safely skip a CT scan. Current guidelines often send these patients for a scan, but the benefit is unclear. Researchers will follow 3,200 adults to see if the scan is truly needed when the only risk factor is the medication.
