Filter by:The purpose of this research is to understand and treat Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) associated photophobia (light sensitivity) and its impact on visual function.
A prospective, multicenter, randomized controlled, open-label, blinded endpoint evaluation study.
Patients with acute severe brain injury are usually admitted to the Intensive Care Unit. A substantial proportion of these patients will have disorders of consciousness (DOC) after interruption of sedation. It is difficult to reliably predict neurological outcome in these patients. Dependent on the extent of permanently damaged brain areas, DOC in patients with acute severe brain injury may improve or persist, eventually evolving into a minimal conscious state (MCS) or unresponsive wakefulness syndrome (UWS). These conditions are accompanied by long term severe disability. In current practice, the decision to withdraw life-sustaining support is made by interpreting the results of repeated bedside neurological examination and conventional CT-brain imaging. Reliable identification of patients with a possible good outcome, in whom treatment should not be withdrawn, is difficult. In this prospective observational cohort study we aim to identify patients with a good neurological outcome.
The goal of this clinical trial is to test the safety of the drug Angiotensin (1-7) and learn whether it works well as a treatment in people who have suffered a moderate to severe traumatic brain injury (TBI). The main questions this trial aims to answer are: - Is Angiotensin (1-7) safe? - Does Angiotensin (1-7) improve mental functioning and reduce physical signs of brain damage in people who have suffered a moderate to severe TBI? Participants will: - Complete 21 days of study treatment consisting of a once-daily injection. - Provide blood samples. - Undergo two magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans of the brain. - Complete specific tasks and questionnaires that allow researchers to evaluate the participant's brain and psychological functioning. Researchers will compare three groups: two groups that receive different doses of Angiotensin (1-7) and one group that receives a look-alike treatment with no active drug. This will allow researchers to see if the drug has any negative effects and whether it improves mental functioning and physical signs of brain damage after a TBI.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and feasibility of using a portable neuroimaging device called functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) to successfully analyze fNIRS data in individuals with chronic TBI during treadmill training augmented with VR.
Clinical study participation has historically been heavily biased toward specific demographics. Several people will be invited to enroll in this study so that it may collect a variety of data about traumatic brain injury clinical trial experiences and identify barriers to participation as well as the causes of participants' failure or withdrawal. People with traumatic brain injury who are invited to take part in medical research will benefit from the analysis of the data.
This was a multicenter randomized controlled study of 98 severe Traumatic Brain Injury patients with tracheostomy. Patients enrolled were divided randomly into the observation group with Intermittent Oro-esophageal Tube Feeding or the control group with Nasogastric tube feeding for enteral nutrition support, respectively. Nutritional status, complications, decannulation of tracheostomy tubes and level of consciousness on day 1 and day 28 were recorded and compared.
The goal of this clinical trial is to explore Clinical Effect of Myofascial Release Therapy in Dysphagic Traumatic Brain injured Survivors. The main question it aims to answer is: • Can Myofascial Release Therapy improve swallowing function in Traumatic Brain injured Survivors? Patients will be randomly allocated into the control group or the experimental group, all under rehabilitation treatment, the experimental group will be given Myofascial Release Therapy. The study lasts 21 days for each patient. Researchers will compare the Functional Oral Intake Scale, Penetration-Aspiration Scale, Swallowing Quality of Life to see if the Myofascial Release Therapy can help improve the situation.
The main goal of this clinical trial is to check if the treatment is safe and well-tolerated. Researchers will compare the MR-301 active drug group with the placebo group to evaluate the safety and tolerability of the drug. Other measurements include assessing the patient's overall outcome, neurological responses, time spent in the intensive care unit, time in the hospital, and mortality. Participants will receive either MR-301 BID IV dosing or a matching placebo for a total of 3 weeks.
