A trial to test tocilizumab, an anti-inflammatory medication, in understanding how controlling the whole body's inflammation can prevent inflammation damage to the brain following head injury
This study is looking at whether an anti-inflammatory medicine called tocilizumab could help people with a severe head injury. It's hoped that by reducing inflammation in the brain, it might help with recovery. This is an early study to see if the medicine works in this way, with plans for a bigger trial later.

Glial Fibrillary Acidic Protein (GFAP) and Ubiquitin Carboxy-terminal Hydrolase L1 (UCH-L1) to Exclude Lesions Linked to Significant Traumatic Brain Injuries
This study looks at whether a simple blood test can help emergency doctors decide if a brain scan (CT scan) is needed after a mild head injury, within 12 hours of it happening. Researchers are testing two substances in the blood, UCH-L1 and GFAP, to see if they can reliably show that there's no major brain injury.

PROphylaxis for Venous ThromboEmbolism in Severe Traumatic Brain Injury (PROTEST)
This study looks at the best way to stop dangerous blood clots forming in people with severe head injuries. It compares a special massage for the legs with massage plus a blood-thinning medicine called Dalteparin, to see which is safer and more effective at preventing clots without causing more bleeding in the brain.
