Acute Intermittent Hypoxia in Traumatic Brain Injury
This study is designed to answer questions related to safety and preliminary efficacy of Acute Intermittent Hypoxia (AIH) in Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) survivors. First, we aim to establish whether brief reductions in inhaled oxygen concentration can be safely tolerated in TBI survivors. Second, we aim to establish whether there …
Pilot Trial for Adults With Acquired Brain Injury
This pilot study will compare a yoga program to a non-yoga exercise program in adults with brain injuries. The investigators will measure possible improvements in balance and heartrate. The investigators also plan to measure changes in brain function and link balance and/or heartrate improvements to changes in brain function. Ideally, …
Post-Brain Injury Walking and Balance Recovery Program
The purpose of this study is to test the efficacy of a walking and balance training program designed to safely challenge and improve walking performance and balance in relation to walking speed, strength, endurance, and balance after traumatic brain injury (TBI). The aim and primary hypothesis of this research project …
Diagnosis of mTBI in a Community Setting
The purpose of this research study is to test whether a portable goggle system (I-PAS) is good at diagnosing mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) in a community setting. The goal is to determine whether the IPAS goggle system can be used reliably in an urgent care or emergency department setting.
Feasibility of tDCS as an Adjunct to Outpatient Physiotherapy in Children With ABI
This study will evaluate the feasibility of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) as an adjunct to an outpatient motor skills-based physiotherapy intervention for children and youth with acquired brain injury. Up to 10 children (age 5-18 years) with childhood onset stroke or traumatic brain injury will be randomly allocated to …
Rehabilitation of Visual Function After Brain Injury
In Denmark, about 120,000 people suffer from brain damage, of whom approx. 75,000 with brain damage after stroke. Serious and often lasting vision impairments affect 20% to 35% of people after stroke. Vision is the most important sense in humans, and even smaller permanent injuries can drastically reduce quality of …
Cognitive Abilities in Brain Damaged Patients
The presence of damage to the central and / or peripheral nervous system resulting from pathologies of a different nature (such as multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, dementia, cranial trauma, stroke, epilepsy or other neurological syndromes) is commonly a cause of physical and mental disability. The presence of memory or language …
Tablet-based Application for Cognitive Therapy
Cognitive impairments such as deficits in attention, executive functions, perception, language, speech, arithmetics, and memory are very common symptoms after acquired brain injury, which can be caused by neurological diseases such as stroke, cerebral haemorrhage or traumatic brain injury. Around 83% of patients with brain injury suffer from a sequelae …
Electrophysiological Evaluation of Voluntary Attention
Aim : To assess the ability of healthy subjects and patients with a severe motor disability to voluntary control their attention Material and Methods: Population: healthy subjects, patients with brain injury Electroencephalographic study to research attentional modulation during different kind of stimulation (visual, auditory, tactile) Sudy 1: passive recording. Study …
The NIPA Study Naloxegol Administration to Prevent Opioids Induced Gastrointestinal Motility Disturbance in Brain Injured PAtients
Impaired gastrointestinal transit (IGT) especially constipation, is common among patients under mechanical ventilation, occurring in up to 80 % of the patients during the first week, and has been associated with worse outcome in intensive care unit (ICU). Although IGT in critically ill patients is multifactorial and some components are …
