What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting This study
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.

Summary

This trial tests whether giving magnesium sulfate soon after a moderate traumatic brain injury can reduce harmful inflammation in the brain. Adults aged 18–60 with a moderate head injury will receive either magnesium sulfate or a saltwater placebo within 8 hours of injury. Researchers will measure changes in a key inflammatory marker (NLRP3) and track patients' recovery and safety.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Magnesium sulfate (MgSO4) given intravenously, compared with normal saline (placebo).
What this could lead to
If effective, magnesium sulfate could become a simple, widely available anti-inflammatory treatment to improve recovery after moderate traumatic brain injury.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-phase trial (64 patients) measuring a biomarker, not long-term outcomes. Magnesium can cause side effects like low blood pressure or toxicity, and results may not generalize.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Male and female patients aged 18 to 60 years. 2. Sustained a closed head trauma with the study drug infusion initiated within 8 hours of the injury. 3. TBI confirmed by history and clinical examination. 4. Patients with moderate (GCS = 9-12) traumatic brain injury. 5.

Hemodynamic stability at the time of enrollment. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Patient Refusal 2. Prolonged and/or uncorrectable hypoxia (PaO₂ \< 60 mmHg) or persistent hypotension (systolic blood pressure \< 90 mmHg) at the time of randomization. 3. Cardiopulmonary arrest. 4. Concomitant spinal cord injury. 5. Pregnant or lactating females. 6. Penetrating head injury. 7. Associated other extra-cranial trauma or systemic polytrauma. 8.
