Filter by:This is an observational study in patients who require clinical anesthesia. The main purpose of this study is to understand whether there are differences in the cerebral blood flow, and oxygen metabolism affected by different types of anesthesia. Subjects who require clinical anesthesia for a clinical MRI and for whom the use of anesthetics for the exam are in clinical equipoise are asked to join the study. All eligible subjects will be asked to provide informed consent before participating in the study.
The main objective is to assess the feasibility of collecting and implementing a multidimensional evaluation in a sample of patients with a mild to severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) and their relatives, evaluated at 6 months (primary outcome), and at 12 then 18 months post-injury (secondary outcomes).
The purpose of this study is to understand how a stepped-care model of Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (Step-Up PCIT) addresses child behavioral problems among children between the ages of 2 and 7 with a traumatic brain injury (TBI).
The goal of this observational study is to test the association between baseline ventilatory parameters (in particular mechanical power (MP), mechanical power normalized to predicted body weight (MP/PBW) and driving pressure (DP) with the baseline neurological status (assessed through the Glasgow coma score) in adults patients under mechanical ventilation with acute neurological injury secondary to stroke, brain trauma or subarachnoid hemorrhage. The main question[s]it aims to answer are: 1. In patients with acute neurological injury under mechanical ventilation, is there a correlation between the acute neurological injury, assessed using the Glasgow scale on admission, and baseline ventilatory parameters? 2. In patients with acute neurological injury under mechanical ventilation, are the baseline ventilatory parameters altered at baseline?
TBI rehabilitation care transitions refer to the processes of preparing patients, families, and community-based healthcare providers for the patient's passage from inpatient rehabilitation to the home and community or to another level of care. Persons with TBI have heterogenous neurological impairment (cognitive and behavioral foremost, along with motor, sensory, and balance), that limits their functional independence and participation, and increases their risk for secondary medical conditions, injuries, rehospitalizations and early mortality
The study aims to inform the subsequent large-scale clinical trial focused on using telerehabilitation techniques and technologies to improve upper limb function and quality of life.
Our goal is to perform a pilot, single center study to evaluate the efficacy of whole blood (WB) in subjects with TBI, intracranial hemorrhage, and anemia compared to blood component therapy.
The purpose of this study is to assess a balance training program to see if it can be helpful to improve balance and avoid falls in people who have had traumatic brain injuries (TBIs). The study will involve three groups of research subjects: 1) TBI-intervention group, 2) TBI- non-intervention group and 3) the participants without disability group. The TBI intervention Group will participate in 10 robotic balance training sessions. Data will collected pre and post-training. TBI- non-intervention group will not receive any training. They will participate in two data collection sessions which are about 5 weeks apart. The participants without disability group will not receive any training. They will participate in one data collection session.
The primary outcome of this study was to identify mortality predictors/risk factors affecting mortality and secondary outcome was to determine the distribution of brain injury types and other parameters according to type of trauma in patients with TBI treated in anesthesia-reanimation tertiary ICU.
There is a paucity of knowledge about mechanisms behind mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) subgroup's sustained problems, and effective interventions that can alleviate this disabling condition. Persistent Post-concussive Symptoms (PCS) affect between 20% and 30% of individuals after mTBI. This Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT) will investigate whether graded aerobic exercise has a positive effect on symptom burden (including exercise intolerance) and Autonomic Nervous System (ANS) dysfunction in patients with PCS. This study will expand upon previous work on adolescents with sport-related concussion in the acute phase. It will cover a wider age group and will include patients with persisting symptoms, thus providing knowledge on whether a sub-symptom threshold aerobic exercise program will alleviate symptom burden in adult patients with PCS. Furthermore - looking into the relationship between mTBI and ANS function, this study is expected to contribute to a better understanding of the neurobiological factors involved in PCS. The results may also help developing targeted interventions to specific characteristics in persistent symptoms after mTBI.
