VR goggles could spot brain injuries by watching your pupils
NCT ID NCT07474987
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study is testing whether a portable virtual reality headset can help diagnose and monitor traumatic brain injury (TBI) by measuring how the pupils react to light. Researchers will compare pupil responses in 150 people: those with mild to moderate TBI, those with other injuries, and healthy volunteers. The goal is to develop a simple, non-invasive tool for detecting head injuries like concussions.

Who is studied
1. TBI group - soldiers with combat-related mild to moderate TBI (defined as blast TBI presenting Glasgow Coma Scale 13-15) and have either elevated TBI-associated blood biomarkers (Abbott Allinity I, GFAP/ UCHL1) and/or initial trauma head CT positive for acute intracranial trauma 2. Non-TBI trauma (NTT) group - Age- and gender-similar soldiers without TBI (defined as war-related injury who screen negative for TBI based on symptoms, blood, and/or head CT) . 3. Healthy volunteers - Age- and gender-similar to TBU group.
