BELA TRIPP Trial Summary

This trial will compare two ways of treating children with severe traumatic brain injury. One group will be treated with a protocol that includes invasive intracranial pressure monitoring, and the other group will be treated without it. The goal is to see if the first group has better outcomes.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for children aged 1-12 who have suffered a non-penetrating traumatic brain injury (TBI) and are admitted to the hospital within 24 hours of the incident. They must have a severe TBI, indicated by a low score on the Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS), and consent from parents or guardians. Children with injuries suspected to be caused intentionally or those with certain unresponsive pupil conditions cannot participate.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study compares two ways of treating severe pediatric TBI: one uses invasive monitoring of pressure inside the skull (ICP), while the other follows treatment protocols without such monitoring. The goal is to see which method leads to better recovery outcomes for these young patients.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

While specific side effects are not detailed here, invasive ICP monitoring may include risks like infection, bleeding in the brain, or reactions at the site where equipment enters the body. Non-invasive treatments carry their own set of potential risks depending on what they entail.

Active Control

Group I: No ICP Monitoring Protocol CREVICEActive Control1 Intervention

Arm two will use the Consensus-Revised Imaging and Clinical Examination (CREVICE) management protocol for paediatric severe traumatic brain injury based on imaging and clinical examination in the absence of invasive intracranial pressure monitoring

Group II: ICP monitoring based ProtocolActive Control1 Intervention

Arm one will use a consensus-developed management protocol for paediatric severe traumatic brain injury based on recommendations from the Brain Trauma Foundation Guidelines, which uses invasive intracranial pressure monitoring
