Early Post-Traumatic Seizures Prevention Trial (E-PTS Trial)
Rationale/gaps in existing knowledge: The prophylaxis for post-traumatic seizures (PTS) remains controversial due to a lack of class I evidence. Investigators plan to conduct a high-quality, prospective, multicentric, randomized study regarding seizure prophylaxis in traumatic brain injury (TBI) with phenytoin, levetiracetam, and the placebo in three respective treatment groups, along …
Saline Versus Balanced Crystalloid in Traumatic Brain Injury
The goal of this clinical trial is to determine which crystalloid (saline or balanced) should be used in the critical management of Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) in moderate or severe TBI patients. This trial will determine whether the use of saline or balanced crystalloids is associated with improved outcomes in …
Effect of Allopurinol for Hypoxic-ischemic Brain Injury on Neurocognitive Outcome
Neonatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) is a major cause of death or long-term disability in infants born at term in the western world, affecting about 1-4 per 1.000 life births and consequently about 5-20.000 infants per year in Europe. Hypothermic treatment became the only established therapy to improve outcome after perinatal …
Brain Oxygen Optimization in Severe TBI, Phase 3
BOOST3 is a randomized clinical trial to determine the comparative effectiveness of two strategies for monitoring and treating patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI) in the intensive care unit (ICU). The study will determine the safety and efficacy of a strategy guided by treatment goals based on both intracranial pressure …
Interest of S100B Protein for Patient Victim of Minor Traumatic Brain Injury and Treated by Antiplatelet
All the patients admitted in emergency department for minor traumatized cranial, with antiplatelet therapy, can be included, after checked inclusion and non inclusions criterias. If they are agree, a blood sample for the dosage of S100b will be done. No other modification of the medical care, all patients will have …
ErythroPOietin Alfa to Prevent Mortality and Reduce Severe Disability in Critically Ill TRAUMA Patients
The EPO-TRAUMA study is a prospective, multi-centre, double-blind, phase III, randomised controlled trial evaluating the efficacy of epoetin alfa compared to placebo in reducing mortality and severe disability at six months in critically ill trauma patients. 2500 mechanically ventilated ICU patients admitted with a primary trauma diagnosis presenting to the …
Pediatric Influence of Cooling Duration on Efficacy in Cardiac Arrest Patients (P-ICECAP)
This is a multicenter trial to establish the efficacy of cooling and the optimal duration of induced hypothermia for neuroprotection in pediatric comatose survivors of cardiac arrest. The study team hypothesizes that longer durations of cooling may improve either the proportion of children that attain a good neurobehavioral recovery or …
Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) Neuromodulation of Executive Function Across Neuropsychiatric Populations
In the current study, the investigators aim to understand the role of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) in improving executive function across neuropsychiatric populations known to have deficits in this cognitive domain.
COmmunities Aligned to Reduce Concussion and Head Impact Exposure
Head impacts in collision sports such as football are a public health concern, as repetitive head impacts, even if a concussion is not suspected, have negative effects on brain health. This study has partnered with a community stakeholder group to create a safety program for youth football named "COmmunities Aligned …
Comparative Outcomes Related to Delivery-room Cord Milking In Low-resourced Kountries Developmental Follow Up
An extension of the CORDMILK trial, the CORDMILK follow-up trial will evaluate the neurodevelopmental outcomes at 22-26 months age of term/late preterm infants who were non-vigorous at birth and received umbilical cord milking (UCM) or early cord clamping (ECC).
