ClinicalTrials.gov finds 2,676 studies for Brain Injuries, Traumatic. How that becomes 1,721 here
This page counts the studies the registry files under Brain Injuries, Traumatic, and those it files under no condition that list Brain Injuries, Traumaticthemselves. Each study its search finds is placed by how the registry filed it and by the conditions it lists. ClinicalTrials.gov counts as of Nov 8, 2026. How condition pages count
- 2,676Found by its condition searchIt reads the conditions a study lists and their synonyms, and also titles and keywords.

How long Brain Injuries, Traumatic studies take
Of 46 phase 2 interventional studies under Brain Injuries, Traumatic, half reached primary completion within 53 months of starting, counting those still running.
| Start to primary completion | Every sponsor | Industry | Non-industry |
|---|---|---|---|
| Phase 1 | 52 mo34–66 · 27 studies | — | — |
| Phase 2 | 53 mo30–… · 46 studies | — | — |

| Observational | 49 mo23–95 · 250 studies | — | 50 mo23–95 · 228 studies |
Each figure is the month by which half the studies had reached primary completion, with the range in which the middle half did. Studies still running count until their last registry update; studies that stopped early are left out. Phase 1 includes early phase 1; observational means prospective or not stated, as retrospective and cross-sectional studies date a window of data rather than a study. How these figures are worked out
