Point-Of-Care TBI Detection System For Head Injured Patients In The Emergency Department
- Conditions
- Brain Injuries
- Registration Number
- NCT02367274
- Lead Sponsor
- BrainScope Company, Inc.
- Brief Summary
A prospective, non-randomized trial for the extension and replication of the development database of brain electrical activity recordings and clinical information collected from patients who present to the ED following closed head injury.
- Detailed Description
The objective of this study is to test the clinical utility of the BrainScope technology for the acute identification of traumatic structural brain injury in the TBI population, following closed head injury. The data generated will serve to validate and/or refine the current algorithms to detect acute, traumatic, structural brain injury.
Recruitment & Eligibility
- Status
- COMPLETED
- Sex
- All

- Subjects who are admitted to the ED and are suspected of a traumatic, closed head injury within 24 hours. The patient will have a GCS 12-15 upon arrival to the ED even if GCS was lower prior to arrival to the ED (e.g., at the time of injury).
-
Subjects will be excluded who have forehead, scalp, or skull abnormalities or other conditions that would prevent correct application of the electrode headset on the skin.
