Brain Oxygen Optimization in Severe TBI, Phase 3

Trial testing brain oxygen management in severe TBI patients.

Phase N/A

BOOST3 Study is a research project focused on helping people with a severe traumatic brain injury (TBI). TBI happens when the brain is hurt, like in a bad fall or car crash. After this injury, the brain might swell and cause dangerous pressure inside the skull. To help, doctors use two tools: ICP monitor measures skull pressure, and PbtO2 monitor checks brain oxygen levels. Both tools guide doctors in deciding treatments like medications and fluids.

There are two groups in the study. One group uses both monitors to guide treatment, while the other uses only the ICP monitor. The study aims to see which method is safer and more effective. Participants will be monitored for 6 months to see how well they recover.

  • Participants need to be adults (14+ years) with a severe TBI.
  • Study lasts 6 months with follow-up interviews.
  • There are some risks and potential side effects involved.

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
