NCT ID: NCT05206760 Completed - Clinical trials for Brain Injury Traumatic Severe

Severe Head Injury Brain Analysis

SHIBA
Start date: July 15, 2020
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Safety and feasibility study investigating brain biopsy in severe head injury. When a patient undergoes craniotomy or ICP bolt insertion for trauma, a biopsy of brain tissue is taken. Blood, saliva, urine and faeces samples are also taken for 7 days following the brain biopsy. CSF is collected if a CSF drainage device is used.

NCT ID: NCT03810222 Completed - Clinical trials for Brain Injuries, Traumatic

A Prospective Outcome Study in Patients With Moderate to Severe Traumatic Brain Injury

TBI-PRO
Start date: January 18, 2017
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is the leading cause of death, disability and cognitive impairment in young people worldwide. The majority of the traumatic deaths in developed countries results directly from lesions in the central nervous system. Furthermore, due to the persistence of disabling effects of TBI for many years, personal and public costs of supporting survivors have to be taken in consideration. Many patients rescued by ICU treatment may have been severely disabled or vegetative because of trauma. These data suggest that, despite improvement in medical and surgical treatments, other factors related to trauma itself and to patient's condition could have an impact on the final outcome. Aim of the TBI-PRO project is to collect high quality clinical and epidemiological data and to describe the outcome of moderate-to-severe TBI in a local contest (Bergamo area, Italy).
