Telephone Intervention for Caregivers of Persons With Traumatic Brain Injury
Brain InjuriesThis study seeks to determine if problem-based telephone counseling improves quality of life and emotional well-being for caregivers of persons with moderate to severe traumatic brain injury (TBI).
Cognitive Profile of Patients at the Sagol Center for Hyperbaric Medicine and Research
TBI (Traumatic Brain Injury)Stroke2 moreIn the investigator's institute there is ongoing treatment of different patients with cognitive deficits using Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT). These patients undergo neuro-cognitive function computerized tests before and after treatment. The aim of this study was to retrospectively evaluate the cognitive changes before and after HBOT in different patients populations.
Aerobic Exercise and Cognitive Training Effects on Postconcussive Symptomology
Post-Concussion SyndromePost-Traumatic Headache6 moreThe purpose of this study is to compare a 4-week, moderately intensive, lab and home-based aerobic exercise program versus exercise plus cognitive training. Participants will include individuals who experience lingering symptoms of a head injury or concussion.
Acute and Mild TBI Injury in Military and Civilian Population Using Advanced MR Imaging
Mild Traumatic Brain InjuryThis is a prospective longitudinal study of patients with acute mTBI and comparison with chronic mTBI patients and a cohort without history of TBI or none within 5 years of enrollment. The patients will be recruited from the eligible population at military medical centers in the National Capital Region.
Head and Intraocular Trauma Tool for the Identification of Mild Traumatic Brain Injury
Brain InjuriesTraumaticRebion has developed a device, the Rebion trauma tool (referred to as the head and intraocular trauma tool, or "HITT"), that detects ocular fixation and alignment using a binocular retinal scan. Preliminary data obtained from hospitalized patients with a clinically-confirmed traumatic brain injury (TBI) and uninjured controls indicates that the device can detect changes in ocular fixation, alignment, and saccades that are related to brain injury. This study seeks to evaluate the ability of the Rebion trauma tool to assess perturbations in eye movements resulting from TBI. The study will enroll 100 TBI patients and 100 controls.
Clinical Utility of Olfactory Rehabilitation: Treatment for Pacients With Neurosensorial Anosmia...
AnosmiaOccupational Therapy2 moreThe aim of our study was to compare the recovery of smell in people suffering posttraumatic olfactory impairment following a systematic olfactory rehabilitation performed by occupational therapists to natural recovery in a control posttraumatic group of patients.
Study to Assess the Efficacy, Safety, and Tolerability of AVP-786 for the Treatment of Neurobehavioral...
Neurobehavioral DisinhibitionThis is a multicenter, randomized, placebo-controlled study to evaluate AVP-786 for the treatment of neurobehavioral disinhibition including aggression, agitation, and irritability in participants with traumatic brain injury (TBI).
Dual-task Assessment and Rehabilitation for Individuals With Residual Symptoms After mTBI
Brain Injury Traumatic MildConcussion1 moreThis research aims to develop an intervention that combines mTBI-specific motor and cognitive challenges into a progressive and challenging rehabilitation program. We plan to develop and refine a combined motor and cognitive intervention using healthy athletic young adults (n=12) and people with a positive history of non-resolving mTBI (n=12). We will conduct limited feasibility testing by conducting 6 week training sessions with each subject group. We also plan to identify best measures for determining readiness for duty or full function by incorporating and testing 3 dual-task assessment measures using state-of-the-art wearable sensors to quantify movement.
Feasibility of the Portable YouGrabber System
Cerebral PalsyStroke3 moreThe aim of the study is to determine the feasibility of the portable version of the YouGrabber® system in children with central motor disorders.
Home-based Arm and Hand Exercise to Improve Upper Limb Function After Traumatic Brain Injury
Brain InjuriesTraumaticThe purpose of this study is to find out whether the Home-based Arm and Hand Exercise (HAHE) program improves functions of the upper limb that is affected after traumatic brain injury. HAHE is made up of exercises that simulate real-life tasks.
