The goal is to perform a first evaluation of the capabilities of a new generation of non-invasive magnetoencephalography whole head device using optically pumped magnetometers using Helium 4 as the sensitive element (OPM He4) to record brain magnetic activities. The investigators will record 1) healthy subjects stimulated with visual, auditory, …
Injuries affecting the central nervous system may disrupt the cortical pathways to muscles causing loss of motor control. Nevertheless, the brain still exhibits sensorimotor rhythms (SMRs) during movement intents or motor imagery (MI), which is the mental rehearsal of the kinesthetics of a movement without actually performing it. Brain-computer interfaces …
This study is a randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blinded, therapeutic exploratory clinical trial of branched chain amino acids (BCAAs) in the treatment of concussion. The aim of the study is to determine whether administration of high-dose BCAAs compared to placebo promotes concussion recovery.
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn whether robotic rehabilitation devices (ZEPU-AI2, AI4, AI6 Plus, and AI7A) are feasible, safe, and effective for adults with upper or lower limb motor problems. These problems can result from stroke, incomplete spinal cord injury, traumatic brain injury, or orthopedic surgery. The …
This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of therapeutic hypothermia in neonates diagnosed with hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE). The study focuses on assessing both short-term outcomes after treatment and long-term neurological outcomes following therapeutic hypothermia.
The goal of this observational study is to identify early signs of poor neurodevelopmental outcome by performing specific neurological, neurophysiological and neuroimaging assessments in newborns with hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy treated with therapeutic hypothermia. The main questions it aims to answer are: Identify patients at risk of neuromotor, cognitive and epileptic sequelae …
Hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) affects approximately 4,000 to 12,000 persons annually in the United States. Mortality from HIE has been reported up to 60%, with at least 25% of survivors left with significant neurocognitive disability. Despite this vital unmet medical need, no pharmacological adjunct or alternative therapy has proven beneficial in …
Hypoxic-Ischemic Encephalopathy (HIE) occurs in 20 per 1000 births. Only 47% of neonates treated with the state of the art therapy (induced systemic hypothermia) have normal outcomes. Therefore, other promising therapies that potentially work in synergy with hypothermia to improve neurologic outcomes need to be tested. One potential agent is …
Perinatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy is a rare severe condition in which neonates present with encephalopathy and a clinical history suggestive of prenatal or perinatal hypoxic-ischemic injury. Emerging evidence suggests that genetic conditions are frequently identified in cases of perinatal HIE; however, it is unclear which neonates with this diagnosis warrant genetic …
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare two models of delivery of guided exercise in patients with exercise intolerance after mild head injury. The main question it aims to answer is: • Is a program that includes elements of in-house exercise and follow-up sessions, and repeated treadmill testing, …
