UCH-L1 GFAP clinical trials

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.
