Filter by:Demonstrating that diagnostics of the state of consciousness and cognitive functions of patients with consciousness disorders performed using C-Eye X (based on eye-tracking technology) allows a more objective assessment of state of patients who were wrongly diagnosed based on popular methods using in a clinical practice (like behavioural scales on paper forms).
Thirty-six years old male with a history of TBI with compromised functionality of the right upper and lower limbs, spasticity, distributed balance, and difficulties performing independent gait has participated in the study. Berg balance scale, 6-minute walk test, modified Ashworth scale, and functional independence measure was used to assess balance, gait, spasticity, and functional intemperance, respectively.
A long-term follow-up study of patients who acquired a stroke or traumatic brain injury (TBI) 5-15 years ago. Primary objective is to describe the interaction between measures of cognitive reserve and neuropsychological variables, psychological variables and healthcare usage in relation to outcome (i.e work return, satisfaction with life, psychological well-being and overall outcome) after stroke or traumatic brain injury. Secondary objectives are to describe differences in fatigue related to cognitive reserve after stroke or TBI and to describe differences in health-care usage related to cognitive reserve after stroke or TBI.
Cross cultural analytical study to translate Modified fatigue impact scale MFIS) in Urdu language. Along with the translated version by evaluating its validity and reliability among the patients of traumatic brain injury. No such study has been previously conducted in Pakistan which translate this scale in Urdu and follows the proper cross- culture adaptation.Condition or disease: Traumatic brain injury. Convenient sampling technique would be used.
This study evaluates the effect of optimizing trunk support based on segmental principles of trunk control, on academic engagement of children in academic settings.
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is an important global health concern. Recently, advances in neurocritical care have led to an increase in the number of recovering TBI patients, and concomittantly in the incidence of complications of TBI. One of the most important sequalae of TBI is cognitive deficit, for which multimodal rehabilitation approach is indicated. Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is a promising treatment strategy for post-TBI cognitive deficits. However, a standardized tailored tDCS protocol is yet to be established for TBI patients. Therefore, this trial aims to 1) the efficacy of tDCS on post-TBI cognitive deficits, and 2) and optimized protocol of tDCS on post-TBI cognitive deficits via a three-arm double-blind, randomized controlled trial.
Patients admitted to the ED with moderate to severe traumatic brain injury defined by GCS less than or equal to 10 and confirmed by head CT scan or MRI were randomized into 2 groups: one receiving animal assisted therapy (AAT) and one not receiving animal assisted therapy. Efficacy of AAT was measured by patient's progression in the Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS), Rancho Los Amigos Scale (RLAS), and ability to follow multi-step commands (LoCmds).
Traumatic brain injury is a common neurosurgical emergency managed in all tertiary and secondary hospitals. Detecting the underlying pathology is a major challenge especially for surgical cases. The outcome differs if the early intervention is performed. Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) based device will detect the hematoma at the bedside. It is not the replacement of a CT scan but can help in triage. This is a large-scale prospective study to establish the role of NIRS device in detecting intracerebral hematoma and correlate the finding with CT scan finding.
This is a pilot study to identify biomarkers that individually, and in combination, demonstrate the greatest sensitivity to repetitive, low-level blast exposure (RLLBE) neurotrauma in Special Operations Forces (SOF) personnel. The proposed cross-sectional, multimodal study will elucidate the potential effects of long-term RLLBE by comparing biomarkers across subjects.
This multicenter prospective observational study is designed to prospectively record data on patients who are managed per institutional standard of care. The objectives of this study are to establish an aggregate database of information on baseline clinical and demographic characteristics, medication use, markers of frailty, injury characteristics, management strategies, and outcomes following TBI in geriatric patients, determine best practices for management of geriatric patients with TBI, and establish how markers of frailty correlate with outcome in geriatric patients with TBI.
