Spotting and Managing Adult Repeated Traumas in the Brain
Emerging evidence suggests that concussions (a type of mild traumatic brain injury; mTBIs) may cause chronic neurological disturbances with effects lasting beyond 20 years, changing brain structure and nearly doubling the risks of developing dementia into old age. Yet diagnoses remain notoriously difficult, gender differences are poorly understood, and negligible …
Evaluation of the Impact of a Dietary and Nutritional Intervention on Persistent Post-concussive Symptoms
Concussions affect thousands of Canadians every year. Although the effects are usually temporary, 10-15% of adults experience persistent symptoms likely to last several weeks or even months. It is suggested that nutritional interventions should be considered in concussion management because nutrition can act on several mechanisms of brain injury. However, …
A Technical Innovation of Prismatic Adaptation Test in Healthy Subject, in Favour of Autonomy and Independence in Daily Life Following a Brain Injury
Unilateral neglect is a neuropsychological disorder reflected by a disturbance in the spatial exploration and distribution of directed attention affecting the contralateral part of space and body relatively to the brain lesion. The chronic aspect of this pathology leads to a poor progression following rehabilitation and a decreased independence of …
PRophylaxis Against Early VENTilator-associated Infections in Acute Brain Injury
This research is about whether treatment with a commonly used antibiotic can prevent infections in airway and lungs and improves the chance of surviving, if it is given soon after patients commence mechanical ventilation when they have been admitted to hospital with an acute severe brain injury. An acute severe …
Brain-injured Patients Extubation Readiness Study
The BIPER study is a stepped wedge cluster randomised clinical trial aiming to decrease extubation failure in critically-ill brain-injured patients with residual impaired consciousness using a simple clinical score.
PROphylaxis for Venous ThromboEmbolism in Severe Traumatic Brain Injury (PROTEST)
This is a pilot study, phase III, multi-centre, double blind, randomized controlled trial of patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI).
Seizure Prevention in Traumatic Brain Injury With Levetiracetam and Lacosamide
The purpose of this study is to assess the incidence of early post-traumatic seizures. The study will also assess the benefit of lacosamide compared to levetiracetam in regards to agitation and behavioral adverse effects in patients with moderate to severe traumatic brain injury requiring seizure prophylaxis.
TBI Evaluation and Management (TEaM)
The purpose of this study is to evaluate a multi-disciplinary, multi-setting intervention with the goal of improving outcomes for children who have experienced a mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI). The project aims to improve and support mTBI diagnosis and management, and improve critical decision making by clinicians during their interaction …
VIDAS® TBI Performance in Subjects With Mild Traumatic Brain Injury (mTBI)
Decision Rules for an initial CT-scan in patients arriving to Emergency Department (ED) and presenting a mild traumatic brain injury could be optimized by the use of an objective parameter easily and rapidly measured. This may be the place for serum biomarkers providing a quick and accurate assessment. BioMérieux has …
Implementation of Biomarker-Based Care for mTBI - IMPACTS-BRAINI Study
This study aims to evaluate the real-world applicability and clinical added value of a new management pathway for patients presenting to the emergency department (ER) with mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI). The pathway includes the use of the VIDAS® TBI in vitro diagnostic assay, which measures the blood biomarkers GFAP …
