Filter by:Each year, approx. 100 patients with severe brain injury is admitted to the Clinic for Neurorehabilitation/TBI Unit, Rigshospitalet. Severe brain injury results in local oxygen deficiency and acid formation in the brain, which together destroys brain cells. The purpose of this study is to investigate whether it is possible to carry out a ketogenic diet therapy for patients with severe brain injury for six weeks. Ketosis has been shown to be neuroprotective during and after severe brain injury.
Low-intensity focused ultrasound can be effective in severe TBI patients with disorder of consciousness. This study is a prospective single arm, open-label and explorative clinical trial to evaluate the therapeutic effect of recovery from DoC and safety of low-intensity focused ultrasound stimulation at thalamic area in patients with post-traumatic DoC.
This monocentric descriptive study addresses feasibility, safety and benefits of using a specific suspension walking device for patients with severe neurological injuries in the neuroICU of Montpellier University Hospital, France. Analyzes are retrospective on data collected prospectively during standard practice. All adult neurological patients hospitalized for > 48 hours and requiring mechanical ventilation from January 2018 to January 2019 are included, and divided into two groups: beneficiaries of suspension walking during the ICU stay, and non-beneficiaries. Characteristics of the two groups are compared and reasons for not using suspension walking recorded (feasibility). After pooling all suspension walking sessions, changes in clinical parameters during sessions and occurrence of adverse events are described (tolerance).
This study will evaluate the administration of N-Acetyl-cysteine in combination with multi-vitamins/minerals in geriatric population (>60 years of age) who have experienced a traumatic brain injury.
To evaluate the efficacy of an adapted telehealth-based, health and wellness lifestyle program on promoting healthy lifestyle behaviors and improving health outcomes.
The study will enroll children and adolescents (0 - 17 years) suspected of having concussion or mild traumatic brain injury (TBI). Samples of urine and saliva will be collected from the patients as well as from corresponding age- and gender-adjusted healthy controls.
A pilot study to evaluate feasibility for a full-scale merit application. Specifically, for veterans considering prolonged exposure (PE) therapy, following the model established by Foa et al, we need to establish safety, and feasibility of quetiapine compared to treatment as usual (TAU) which employs multiple medications commonly used for PTSD in the VA system.
The aim of the study is to look if Quick Sequential Organ Failure Assessment Score score in detecting a eary Sepsis is afflicted by neurosurgical disorders
evaluate the impact of Doxycycline on both clinical outcome and blood levels of NSE in patients with TBI.
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is the signature injury of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Up to 73% of TBI patients endorse fatigue as their most challenging symptom. Fatigue leads to decreased participation in everyday life and return to work. The Maximizing Energy (MAX) intervention trains individuals with TBI to manage their fatigue. The intervention individualizes the Occupational Therapist delivered Energy Conservation Strategies education by using the framework of Problem Solving Therapy. The purpose of this single-blind randomized clinical trial was to test the effect of the Maximizing Energy (MAX) intervention for decreasing the impact and severity of post-TBI fatigue, increasing participation in everyday life and physical activity, and decreasing work disability.
