Investigation on the Cortical Communication System
The goal of this clinical trial is to demonstrate communication through a brain implant in people in locked-in state, i.e. people with severe paralysis and communication problems. The main questions it aims to answer are efficient and stable control of Brain-Computer interface (BCI) functions for communication with attempted hand movements …
Continuous Passive Motion Versus Heterotopic Ossification
The investigators hypothesize that Heterotopic Ossification (HO) formation can be suppressed if the application of a Continuous Passive Motion (CPM) device can be performed for a substantial amount of time. The investigators will use the following study design: a pilot study with 10 ICU patients receiving CPM and 10 matched …
Cervical Spine Focused Treatment for Patients With Persistent Concussion Symptoms and Neck Pain
Assess the feasibility of recruiting, enrolling and randomizing patients with concussion symptoms and neck pain to receive manual therapy and cervical rehabilitative exercises in addition to standard concussion treatment. In the usual care workflow provided at the participating concussion clinic, cervical spine rehab is not typically introduced until after week …
Behavioral Treatment of Insomnia in Active-Duty Service Members With Traumatic Brain Injury
The objective of the study is to conduct a randomized controlled trial of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) in a sample of active-duty sailors with a history of traumatic brain injury (TBI). The investigators will test the impact of CBT-I on insomnia symptoms as well as post-concussive symptoms, psychological …
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 …
Detecting Traumatic Intracranial Hemorrhage With Microwaves and Biomarkers
This study will evaluate if traumatic intracranial hemorrhage can be safely ruled out by using a microwave scanner (MD100) in conjunction with a combination of different brain biomarkers analyzed in serum.
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 …
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.
Comparing Upper Limb Surgery and Botulinum Toxin for Spasticity: A Paired Design Study
Spasticity is a common complication following central nervous system injuries. Left untreated, spasticity can lead to various complications, hindering activities of daily living and diminishing independence. Spasticity affecting the hand is particularly debilitating because it prevents prehension and grasp, which are critical factors for the ability to perform activities of …
Setting Families on a Positive Path to Recovery After Pediatric TBI: Road-to-Recovery
This study has two main goals: 1) to refine and enhance the R2R-TBI intervention; and 2) to examine the efficacy of the R2R-TBI intervention in a randomized control trial. To achieve the second goal, we will employ a between-groups randomized treatment design with repeated measures at baseline, one-month post-randomization, and …
