Brain scans may reveal hidden clues to TBI recovery
NCT ID NCT07527949
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study aims to see if special MRI scans can help predict how well people recover from moderate to severe traumatic brain injury (TBI). Researchers will scan 100 adults aged 18 to 60 soon after their injury and then check their recovery one year later. The goal is to find brain markers that could guide better treatment decisions in the future. No new treatments are being tested, and participants will receive standard care.
