Characteristic of clinical trials related to traumatic brain injury registered on ClinicalTrials.gov over the past two decades (2004-2023).

ABSTRACT:

Objective

The aim of this report is to provide a comprehensive overview of clinical trials and protocols related to traumatic brain injury over the past two decades.

Methods

We collected information on clinical trials related to traumatic brain injury (TBI) from the ClinicalTrials.gov database, identified key categorical variables, and assessed their characteristics.

Results

A total of 367 TBI-related trials were identified for analysis. All identified trials were interventional clinical trials. Most trials were small-scale, with 75.2% enrolling 1-100 participants, and only about 20% were funded by industry or the National Institutes of Health (NIH). In most trials, participants were gender-neutral (96.5%), and the primary age group was adults and older adults (56.9%)
