Traumatic Brain Injury Clinical Trials

Clinical trials for traumatic brain injury (TBI) are designed to find proven therapies for TBI to improve outcomes for individuals with TBI. The main goals of these clinical trials are to reduce death rates, vegetative states, and cognitive dysfunction after moderate to severe TBI.

Traumatic brain injury is a major cause of death and disability with an estimated two million head injuries occurring in the U.S. every year. As a result of their injuries, nearly 50,000 of these individuals will have persistent physical, cognitive, behavioral and social deficits that can compromise their quality of life. Clinical trials for TBI are designed to find effective treatments to assist these individuals in attaining improvement in the quality of their lives.

These pages highlight important traumatic brain injury clinical trials that show promise in accomplishing these goals.
