Effect of Graded Aerobic Exercise in Mild Traumatic Brain Injury
There is a paucity of knowledge about mechanisms behind mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) subgroup's sustained problems, and effective interventions that can alleviate this disabling condition. Persistent Post-concussive Symptoms (PCS) affect between 20% and 30% of individuals after mTBI. This Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT) will investigate whether graded aerobic exercise …
Benchmark Evidence Led by Latin America: Trial of Intracranial Pressure - Pediatrics
Narrative Worldwide, traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a leading cause of death and disability among children and adolescents. The Investigators aim to test whether pediatric TBI treatment guided by invasive intracranial pressure monitoring produces better patient outcomes than care guided by a protocol without invasive monitoring. Study findings will inform …
Caregiver Wellness After Traumatic Brain Injury (CG-WELL): An Intervention Designed to Promote Well-being in Caregivers of Acute Moderate to Severe Traumatic Brain Injuries
After injury, survivors of msTBI depend on informal family caregivers. Upwards of 77% of family caregivers experience poor outcomes, such as adverse life changes, poor health related quality of life, and increased depressive symptoms. Caregivers frequently report minimal support or training to prepare them for their new role. Periods of …
Stimulating After Recovery From Traumatic Brain Injury
This is a preliminary, prospective interventional study to investigate the feasibility of using transcutaneous alternating current stimulation (TACS) after a traumatic brain injury (TBI) to improve cognitive function and decision-making.
DBS for Cognitive Deficits After Traumatic Brain Injury
Patients with memory and cognitive deficits following TBI that do not respond to conventional treatments experience a decrease in quality of life. Despite advances in neuroimaging, genetics, pharmacology and psychosocial interventions in the last half century, little progress has been made in altering the natural history of the condition or …
Evaluation of Decision-Making Fatigue After Traumatic Brain Injury
This is a preliminary, prospective, cohort study to investigate the feasibility of using the COGED and Restless Bandit tasks after a mild to moderate traumatic brain injury as well as in healthy controls.
Depth Electrode Detection of Cortical Spreading Depolarization After Traumatic Brain Injury
Preliminary evaluation of depth electrode recording and novel algorithms to determine Cortical Spreading Depolarization's (CSD) following traumatic brain injury (TBI) requiring neurosurgical intervention.
Evaluating the Impact of Adjuvant Use of Beta Blockers on Clinical Outcomes in Patients With Traumatic Brain Injury
Propranolol primarily acts as a non-selective beta blocker, blocking both beta-1 and beta-2 adrenergic receptors, while carvedilol exhibits a broader spectrum of action by also blocking alpha-1 adrenergic receptors. The receptor blockade profile of a beta blocker can influence its physiological effects and potential therapeutic benefits in TBI. Therefore, the …
Spotting and Managing Adult Repeated Traumas in the Brain
Emerging evidence suggests that concussions (a type of mild traumatic brain injury; mTBIs) may cause chronic neurological disturbances with effects lasting beyond 20 years, changing brain structure and nearly doubling the risks of developing dementia into old age. Yet diagnoses remain notoriously difficult, gender differences are poorly understood, and negligible …
Evaluation of the Impact of a Dietary and Nutritional Intervention on Persistent Post-concussive Symptoms
Concussions affect thousands of Canadians every year. Although the effects are usually temporary, 10-15% of adults experience persistent symptoms likely to last several weeks or even months. It is suggested that nutritional interventions should be considered in concussion management because nutrition can act on several mechanisms of brain injury. However, …
