Trials With No Placebo
Procedure
Ketamine + Propofol for Traumatic Brain Injury
Recruiting3 awardsPhase 4
Fort Sam Houston, Texas
This trial will test if using a combination of ketamine and propofol is safe for sedating patients with severe traumatic brain injury in the intensive care unit, compared to the standard sedation method.
Procedure
External Lumbar Drainage for Traumatic Brain Injury
Recruiting1 award7 criteria
Fort Sam Houston, Texas
This trial explores if ELD is safe & feasible for severe TBI patients without increasing risk of neurological worsening or herniation. Researchers will compare groups to see effects on raised intracranial pressure.
Procedure
Stealth-Guided EVD Placement for Intracranial Hypertension
Recruiting1 award
Madison, Wisconsin
This trial compares traditional freehand placement of brain catheters with a new method using the AxiEM Stealth image guidance system. The goal is to see if using detailed images from CT or MRI scans can help doctors place the catheters more accurately and safely in patients with conditions like hydrocephalus or brain trauma.
Stent
Venous Sinus Stenting for Intracranial Hypertension
Recruiting1 award8 criteria
Jacksonville, Florida
This trial tests if placing a small tube (stent) in a brain vein can safely help patients with severe headaches or vision problems due to high brain pressure. These patients haven't improved with medication. The stent works by keeping the vein open to reduce pressure. This method has shown promising results in patients who haven't responded to other treatments.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need insurance to participate in a trial?
Almost all clinical trials will cover the cost of the 'trial drug' — so no insurance is required for this. For trials where this trial drug is given alongside an already-approved medication, there may be a cost (which your insurance would normally cover).
Is there any support for travel costs?
Many of the teams running clinical trials will cover the cost of transportation to-and-from their care center.
Will I know what medication I am taking?
This depends on the specific study. If you're worried about receiving a placebo, you can actively filter out these trials using our search.
How long do clinical trials last?
Some trials will only require a single visit, while others will continue until your disease returns. It's fairly common for a trial to last somewhere between 1 and 6 months.
Do you verify all the trials on your website?
All of the trials listed on Power have been formally registered with the US Food and Drug Administration. Beyond this, some trials on Power have been formally 'verified' if the team behind the trial has completed an additional level of verification with our team.
How quickly will I hear back from a clinical trial?
Sadly, this response time can take anywhere from 6 hours to 2 weeks. We're working hard to speed up how quickly you hear back — in general, verified trials respond to patients within a few days.
