Clinical Trial Summary

The aim of this randomised multicentre clinical feasibility and pilot trial is to test if a sit-to-stand trial protocol is feasible regarding the increased intensity, trial recruitment, and completion of outcome data in patients with moderate to severe traumatic brain injury during the rehabilitation phase. For the trial to be feasible, all outcomes must be achieved. The primary hypothesis is that it is feasible to progressively increase the number of repetitions of sit-to-stand exercises in patients with moderate to severe traumatic brain injury admitted to a rehabilitation department during the intervention period. Furthermore, the investigators hypothesize that the increased number of repetitions will increase the participant's functional capabilities regarding sit-to-stand and walking, decrease resting heart rate, blood pressure, and metabolism, reduce inflammatory and brain injury biomarkers, and improve the cognitive performance.


Clinical Trial Description

This is a randomised multicentre clinical feasibility and pilot trial, where assessors and statisticians will be blinded. Forty-four participants with moderate to severe traumatic brain injury will be randomised to INSPIRE versus standard care as soon as they are able to understand and execute simple commands twice during one day. Participants in the INSPIRE group will undergo two weeks of intensive sit-to-stand exercise using an algorithm to increase the intensity daily. The trial uses predefined dose-limiting events to reduce training intensity in participants experiencing exercise-related adverse events that limit other daily activities and rehabilitation (e.g. muscle soreness and pain). Overall feasibility will be assessed by determining the inclusion rate, exercise completion rate, and completion of the Glasgow Outcome Scale - Extended. As exploratory clinical outcomes, the investigators will assess serious adverse events and adverse events not considered serious, physical function, cardiovascular and metabolic health, fatigue, and cognitive function. ;
