Evaluation and Diagnosis of Potential Research Subjects With Traumatic Brain Injury
NCT01287156 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
Background: \- The Center for Neuroscience and Regenerative Medicine is working to improve physicians' understanding of brain injury. More information is needed on traumatic brain injury (TBI), especially how well a person recovers from TBI and how the brain changes over time in people with TBI. To conduct this research, the center is sponsoring a number of research studies on TBI and is interested in evaluating individuals with TBI or post-concussive syndrome to determine if they might be eligible for future studies. Objectives: \- To develop a pool of individuals with traumatic brain injury and post-concussive syndrome for future research studies. Eligibility: \- Individuals at least 18 years of age who have symptoms of or have been diagnosed with traumatic brain injury or post-concussive syndrome and are willing to participate in future studies. Design: * Participants will be screened with an initial telephone interview, and will be asked to come to the National Institutes of Health for an in-person screening visit. * At the screening visit, participants will provide a medical history, have a physical examination and complete a study questionnaire on their TBI and its symptoms, including how the injury occurred, when it occurred, and any previous brain-related injuries. * Subjects may also return for a second visit at the NIH CC if eligible. * Each visit may involve blood samples, an MRI scan, and a series of tests to evaluate brain function. * Participants will also provide contact information to enable researchers to contact them for future studies.

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT01287156
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT01287156 describes a study currently listed as completed. It is categorized as an unspecified phase, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 1,328 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is National Institute of Nursing Research (NINR), which has 9 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 1 condition, with Traumatic Brain Injury appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 0 interventions. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.
Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT01287156 reports 4 study locations spanning 3 distinct geographic areas — top geographies include Maryland, District of Columbia, Virginia. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll. Verify current status, eligibility criteria, and contact details directly at ClinicalTrials.gov, and discuss any participation decision with your own healthcare provider.
