Standard Craniectomy Against Laparotomy for the Treatment of Traumatic Rise in Intracranial Pressure and the Effect on Long-term Outcome
Intractable high intracranial pressures (ICP) are associated with poor functional outcomes and mortality, so the SCALPEL trials aims to evaluate the effect of decompressive craniectomy against decompressive laparotomy to lower those pressures in diffuse TBI. The primary outcome measure for that evaluation is functional outcome after 12 months on the …
Improving Traumatic Brain Injury Rehab Care With Comm Health Services: a Research Project Within the TBI Model System
TBI rehabilitation care transitions refer to the processes of preparing patients, families, and community-based healthcare providers for the patient's passage from inpatient rehabilitation to the home and community or to another level of care. Persons with TBI have heterogenous neurological impairment (cognitive and behavioral foremost, along with motor, sensory, and …
Hyperbaric Oxygen Brain Injury Treatment Trial
The purpose of this innovative adaptive phase II trial design is to determine the optimal combination of hyperbaric oxygen treatment parameters that is most likely to demonstrate improvement in the outcome of severe TBI patients in a subsequent phase III trial.
Noninvasive Modulation of Motivational Brain Regions in Healthy Volunteers
21 healthy control participants will be recruited. On Day 1 they will complete reward-guided decision making tasks and questionnaires followed by a functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) scan. On Days 2 and 3 they will receive repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) targeting a specific part of the brain called the …
Virtual Reality Treadmill Training in Individuals With Traumatic Brain Injury
This pilot study aims to determine the feasibility of a virtual reality treadmill training intervention in individuals with Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI). Participants will be stratified based on age into adults' group or older adults' group and then randomized into the virtual reality treadmill training (intervention) group with feedback or …
Buspirone for the Treatment of Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) Irritability and Aggression
The purpose of this study is to improve behavior control displayed by persons with traumatic brain injury by assessing effectiveness of treatments for post-TBI irritability and aggression.
Assistive Soft Skills and Employment Training (ASSET) in TBI Injury
Pediatric traumatic brain injury (TBI) is often associated with difficulties in social functioning. Loss of social contacts and difficulties maintaining social connections is common after pediatric TBI, extending into adulthood. Social skills are a key aspect of social functioning critical to forming and maintaining social relationships with others, including family, …
Improving Neurotrauma by Depolarization Inhibition With Combination Therapy (INDICT)
This study is a randomized Phase 2 trial to determine the feasibility of real-time electrocorticographic monitoring of spreading depolarizations (SD) to guide implementation of a tier-based protocol of intensive care therapies, aimed at SD suppression, for the management of patients who have undergone acute operative treatment of severe traumatic brain …
Combinatory Rehabilitation Used for Substantially Helping Individuals With Traumatic Brain Injury
New learning and memory impairment (NLMI) is a common and devastating manifestation of TBI associated with substantial life burdens. Persons with moderate to severe TBI have shown improvement in NLM for prose material (e.g. story) as well as beneficial changes in default-mode network (DMN) activation during list-learning19 following treatment with …
SmART-TBI: Supplementation With Amino Acid Rehabilitative Therapy in TBI
The most persistent and disabling postconcussive symptoms following mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) are sleep disturbances and cognitive dysfunction, with few tractable interventions currently available. Here, a novel therapy will be tested consisting of dietary supplementation with branched chain amino acids (BCAA), based on the study team's previous preclinical work …
