Filter by:Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) is the leading cause of death and disability across the globe. Time from injury to treatment is the most critical factor that determines the patient's recovery. Mild TBI with no apparent symptoms are often left undiagnosed, thus delaying the treatment and hence recovery. CEREBO® is a non-invasive, rapid, near-infrared based, point-of-care device that can detect an intracranial bleed at an early stage.
This is a preliminary, prospective interventional study to investigate the feasibility of using transcutaneous alternating current stimulation (TACS) and transcutaneous noninvasive vagal nerve stimulation (tnVNS) after a traumatic brain injury (TBI) to improve cognitive function and decision-making.
Head trauma is a frequent reason for consultation in the emergency room. The CT scan is the reference examination allowing rapid management of the patient. However, CT examinations are among the diagnostic examinations with the highest exposure to ionizing radiation. The study investigators have previously implemented "ultra-low dose" (ULD) acquisitions for several pathologies with an effective dose level similar to that of a standard radiographic examination. These ULD acquisitions are now routinely used in our clinical practice for explorations of the thorax, spine, pelvis and proximal femurs, extremities. This study expands these ULD acquisitions to skull CT for detecting traumatic intracranial lesions. The study investigators hypothesize that it would be possible to search for intracranial lesions in patients with head trauma using ULD protocols, thereby reducing the doses delivered to the patient while maintaining sufficient image quality for the diagnosis.
the study is designed to perform an intervention for enhancement of cerebral blood flow in patients with traumatic brain injury showing vasospasm through transcranial doppler
The purpose of this study is to determine whether a course of daily manual lymphatic drainage over the course of 5 days can improve lymphatic drainage function and cognitive outcomes and to determine whether single sessions of manual lymphatic drainage improves lymphatic drainage in moderate to severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) patients.
Prospective observational study on patients undergoing decompressive craniotomy
This trial will study the safety and efficacy of intravenous infusion of cultured allogeneic adult umbilical cord derived mesenchymal stem cells for the treatment of traumatic brain injury
The study is intended to test the hypothesis that sodium lactate infusion after resuscitation from a cardiac arrest will decrease the magnitude of brain damage, as measured by the serum biomarker concentration of NSE.
This will be a five year study that will be a prospective, randomized, controlled trial (RCT) to assess the effect of a virtual early intervention care delivery model in the provision of therapy to enhance the neurodevelopmental trajectory of infants with brain injury. In addition, the investigators will enhance understanding of the social and parental contributors to outcomes and the early health economic impact of a virtual clinic. The results of this study will help inform the design of a larger, multi-center randomized controlled trial.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether growth hormone replacement therapy (GHRT) is effective versus placebo in the improvement of Quality of Life in patients with adult growth hormone deficiency (AGHD) and mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI).
