No treatment, just data: TBI study recruits for future research
NCT ID NCT01287156
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Aug 25, 2026 · Updated 15 times
Summary
This study did not test any treatment. Instead, it screened over 1,300 adults with traumatic brain injury (TBI) or post-concussive symptoms to create a database for future research. Participants provided medical history, blood samples, MRI scans, and brain function tests. The goal was to make it easier for researchers to find volunteers for later studies on TBI recovery and brain changes.

Who can take part
This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.
Who is studied
Enrollment in this protocol will occur at a participating site MedStar Washington Hospital Center (WHC) or Johns Hopkins Suburban Hospital (Suburban), or at the NIH Clinical Center (NIH CC). Applicable study procedures will depend on the visit site, diagnostic certainty, and logistic considerations such as distance from NIH and feasibility of transport. All subjects will undergo a study visit at a participating enrollment site and/or the NIH Clinical Center. Subjects enrolled acutely at the NIH CC may undergo an additional study visit at the NIH. Phone follow-up will occur at 6-months, 1 year from initial consent. Additional subject follow-up contact will be made should @@@a subject become eligible for referral to another eligible protocol.@@@
