The Anesthetic Ketamine as Treatment for Patients With Severe Acute Brain Injury
Cortical spreading depolarisations are pathological depolarisation waves that occur frequently after severe acute brain injury and has been associated with poor outcome. S-ketamine has been shown to inhibit cortical spreading depolarisations. The aim of the present study is to examine the efficacy and safety of using S-ketamine for treatment of …
Biofeedback for Hemianopia Vision Rehabilitation
Patients with brain injury secondary to stroke, surgery, or trauma frequently suffer from homonymous hemianopia, defined as vision loss in one hemifield secondary to retro- chiasmal lesion. Classic and effective saccadic compensatory training therapies are current aim to reorganize the control of visual information processing and eye movements or, in …
Alternating and Direct Current Stimulation for Neuropathic Eye Pain
The goal of this clinical intervention is to test if two forms of transcranial current stimulation, transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) or transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) can alleviate neuropathic eye pain in a sample of 20 patients. The main aims are: Test if tDCS/tACS can alleviate neuropathic eye pain …
Early Intervention Based on Neonatal Crawling in Very Premature Infants at Risk For Neurodevelopmental Disorder
Extreme prematurity is constantly increasing according to the World Health Organization. However, methods to train premature infants at risk of disability is sorely lacking. The goal of this project is to overcome this problem. In previous studies, the investigators discovered that promoting the crawling of typical newborns on a mini …
Mobile Health Self-Management and Support System for Chronic and Complex Health Conditions
This study will assess the benefits of using mobile health system designed for individuals with chronic and complex health conditions (such as those with Spinal Cord Injury,Cerebral Palsy, Spina Bifida, and Traumatic Brain Injury) to improve their wellness and self-management skills compared to those who receive standard of care only.
Connectivity and Neural Signatures of Consciousness in Unresponsive States
The CONSCIUS study is a prospective, interventional study including patients with acute brain injury and impaired consciousness implanted with intracranial electrodes. The aim of the study is to investigate seizures and thalamocortical neural dynamics underlying behavioral unresponsiveness.
Evaluation of the Impact of the AVanCer Program Provided by the ARRPAC Day Center
In France, more than 150,000 strokes occur each year. Stroke is a major risk factor for dependency, representing the leading cause of acquired non-traumatic disability in adults. Head injuries, which are also very frequent, can leave similar neuropsychiatric sequelae. These events are brutal and their physical, psychological, emotional, social and …
Regulating Emotions and Behaviors After Brain Injury
After acquired brain injury (ABI), persons can experience emotional and behavioral difficulties, that can be painful both for the person and his/her family. This clinical study aims at measuring the effectiveness of a third wave cognitive behavioral therapy called "dialectical behavior therapy" (DBT). DBT aims at teaching persons emotion regulation …
Effect of Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation in Altered States of Consciousness
Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) is a non-invasive, painless brain stimulation treatment that uses low-intensity direct electrical currents to stimulate specific parts of the brain. Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) can both facilitate anodic stimulation and inhibit cathodic stimulation specific brain areas since many neurological and psychiatric disorders are connected …
Feasibility and Safety of Intranasally Administered Breast Milk in HIE
This is a prospective intervention single center study to evaluate the feasibility and safety of intranasal breast milk in hypoxic-ischaemic encephalopathic neonates receiving therapeutic hypothermia.
