Detection and Amelioration of Gamma Oscillation Abnormalities in Blast-Related Brain Injury
Combat Veterans of post-9/11 conflicts have experienced serious cognitive and emotional problems resulting from exposure to blasts. Recent work suggests that a critical factor influencing the consequences of blast exposure is distance from the blast, rather than the presence or absence of concussion symptoms. Exposure to blasts from a distance …
Combined Neuromodulation and Cognitive Training for Post-mTBI Depression
The primary goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate whether Personalized Augmented Cognitive Training (PACT) plus intermittent theta burst stimulation (iTBS) is effective for treating depression in Service Members, Veterans, and civilians who have sustained a mild TBI. Participants will receive PACT plus 20 sessions of iTBS or sham …
Visualizing Brain Proteinopathies Using [F-18]Flornaptitril-PET in the Prediction of Clinical Progression of Mild Cognitive Impairment With Either Suspected Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy or Alzheimer's Disease
CMK-0301 is a multi-site, randomized clinical trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of [F-18]Flornaptitril-PET (F-18 FNT-PET) for the prediction of clinical progression of Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) with either Suspected Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE) or Alzheimer's Disease (AD). The primary objectives of the study are to: (1) To determine …
Comparing Upper Limb Surgery and Botulinum Toxin for Spasticity: A Paired Design Study
Spasticity is a common complication following central nervous system injuries. Left untreated, spasticity can lead to various complications, hindering activities of daily living and diminishing independence. Spasticity affecting the hand is particularly debilitating because it prevents prehension and grasp, which are critical factors for the ability to perform activities of …
Setting Families on a Positive Path to Recovery After Pediatric TBI: Road-to-Recovery
This study has two main goals: 1) to refine and enhance the R2R-TBI intervention; and 2) to examine the efficacy of the R2R-TBI intervention in a randomized control trial. To achieve the second goal, we will employ a between-groups randomized treatment design with repeated measures at baseline, one-month post-randomization, and …
Behavioral Treatment of Insomnia in Active-Duty Service Members With Traumatic Brain Injury
The objective of the study is to conduct a randomized controlled trial of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) in a sample of active-duty sailors with a history of traumatic brain injury (TBI). The investigators will test the impact of CBT-I on insomnia symptoms as well as post-concussive symptoms, psychological …
Non-invasive Stimulation of the Glymphatic System for Slowing Cognitive Decline
The purpose of this research is to demonstrate that mild stimulation of a nerve (trigeminal nerve) in the head can modulate blood flow in the brain. The modulated blood flow will restore the flow of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and this in turn can help improve waste clearance in the brain …
Visual Plasticity Following Brain Lesions
The VIBRANT (Vision Improvement through Behavioral Rehabilitation And Neuroplasticity Training) study is a prospective, double-blind, crossover design (within-subject) in participants with homonymous hemianopia-a type of visual field loss resulting from damage to the post-chiasmatic visual pathways. It aims to investigate whether transcranial random noise stimulation (tRNS) combined with perceptual learning-based …
Integrated Assessment of Cervicocerebral Vessels to Improve the Brain Injury for CAGB Patients (IACV Study)
The goal of this study is to establish a prospective study to focus on the high-risk stroke population who require coronary artery bypass graft surgery. It will divide the eligible patients into 1:1 group by simple randomization method. The control group adopt the traditional diagnosis and treatment mode, and only …
Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation for Post-concussion Headaches
This study aims to examine the long-term effect of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS), a non-invasive brain stimulation technique, on chronic headaches following mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI). rTMS has been shown to be effective in reducing chronic headaches without side effects commonly seen in medications, such as sleepiness and …
