This is a research study to evaluate the effectiveness of the PAVE (Parallactic Visual-Field Enhancement) System for the treatment of chronic visual field loss due to stroke, traumatic brain injury, or brain surgery. The PAVE regimen involves the use of a virtual reality headset to deliver visual stimulation to subjects …
One of the most important neurological consequences following Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) is the development of post traumatic epilepsy (PTE). Nevertheless, there is still no effective therapeutic intervention to reduce the occurrence of PTE. In previous studies with animals models of epilepsy, the biperiden decreased the incidence and intensity of …
This study is testing the psychometric properties of a new tool to determine recommendations for pressure relief frequency in wheelchair users.
Context : Moderate to severe head trauma with altered state of consciousness is an extremely common pathology (between 60 and 120 cases per 100 000 people per year depending on the country and age group), and is responsible for 30% of deaths by trauma. It is complicated in 30-60% of …
The objective of this study is to estimate the feasibility and safety of early weaning from ICU treatment in patients after cardiac arrest and an early (\< 12 h) favourable EEG pattern (indicating no or mild postanoxic encephalopathy).
More than 1 million U.S. youth sustain a concussion each year, and up to 30% report persistent post-concussive symptoms (PPCS) lasting 1 month or more. PPCS can interfere with normal adolescent development, resulting in issues with socioemotional dysfunction and even school failure. However, few evidence based treatments are available for …
Preterm and term infants with brain injury frequently have delayed motor skills, and one hand and arm may become stronger than the other, which can signal early cerebral palsy. A new treatment, transcutaneous vagus nerve stimulation (taVNS), boosts specific brain circuits and may improve function when paired with intensive motor …
This research focuses on the long-term cognitive development of children, including healthy infants and those who had a perinatal brain injury. As part of this research study, children complete virtual game and assessments. Parents will be asked to fill out questionnaires about their child's behavior and stress in the home. …
This study aims to recruit patients already implanted with Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) for movement disorders to complete tasks assessing parameters of motor output, speech, and swallowing functions, both with and without stimulation. DBS parameters would be adjusted prior to motor testing. Patients would then participate in multiple sessions performing …
This study will conduct a single-center clinical trial to explore the initial therapeutic effect of ginkgo biloba dropping pills, huperzine A injection and median nerve electrical stimulation in patients with cognitive impairment.
