Filter by:The goal of this randomised cross-over feasibility trial is to investigate two intensive robot-assisted training therapies in the early rehabilitation phase after traumatic brain injury and disorders of consciousness. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Is the protocol feasible concerning inclusion in the study? - Is the protocol feasible concerning protocol completion? Participants will randomly be assigned to either five days of robot-assisted gait training (GAIT), two days of pause, then five days of robot-assisted step training (STEP) or vice versa. The investigators will explore and compare safety events, physiological measures and physical activity levels, behavioural measures, and functional disability outcomes. Further, the investigators report intervention and technical parameters in detail.
Brain injuries may cause the loss of the ability to see portions of the visual field, the so-called visual field defects (VFDs). VFDs significantly impact the survivors' functional recovery and quality of life, with the majority of patients displaying no spontaneous recovery or being left with residual deficits. Among the available therapies for VFDs, the compensatory scanning training is considered the most promising. Yet, current evidence is insufficient to recommend it in clinical practice, and the scientific community has stressed the need of more high-quality research. The present randomized clinical trial in patients with chronic VFDs caused by brain lesions aims at verifying the feasibility and efficacy of a novel telerehabilitation using a multisensory scanning therapy, by measuring its effects on visual functions and daily activities, and by looking for neural indicators of the therapy-induced improvements.
A two site, 2-arm, Phase III randomized pragmatic clinical trial evaluating the effectiveness of quetiapine monotherapy in comparison to Treatment As Usual (TAU) medication management for symptoms experienced by veterans receiving rehabilitation therapy for mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) and comorbid symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
Evaluate the effect of tranexamic acid on mortality in pediatric patients with traumatic brain injury. This could potentially lead to improved treatment protocols and better outcomes for this vulnerable population.
This study is to explore the clinical effect of refined nursing in rehabilitation training for patients with brain injury during the recovery period. Patients in the control group were provided with routine nursing intervention, while patients in the study group adopted a nursing mode based on the concept of refinement treatment. Comparison was made in terms of the Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score, cognitive function score, functional independence score, nursing satisfaction, and incidence of complications.
This was a multicenter randomized controlled study of 98 severe Traumatic Brain Injury patients with tracheostomy. Patients enrolled were divided randomly into the observation group with Intermittent Oro-esophageal Tube Feeding or the control group with Nasogastric tube feeding for enteral nutrition support, respectively. Nutritional status, complications, decannulation of tracheostomy tubes and level of consciousness on day 1 and day 28 were recorded and compared.
The goal of this clinical trial is to explore Clinical Effect of Myofascial Release Therapy in Dysphagic Traumatic Brain injured Survivors. The main question it aims to answer is: • Can Myofascial Release Therapy improve swallowing function in Traumatic Brain injured Survivors? Patients will be randomly allocated into the control group or the experimental group, all under rehabilitation treatment, the experimental group will be given Myofascial Release Therapy. The study lasts 21 days for each patient. Researchers will compare the Functional Oral Intake Scale, Penetration-Aspiration Scale, Swallowing Quality of Life to see if the Myofascial Release Therapy can help improve the situation.
Mild traumatic brain injury(mTBI) is a common cause of consultation to the emergency rooms worldwide and is the most common form of traumatic brain injury. Though classified as mild, as many as 40% of patients suffering mTBI do not make complete recoveries or present persistent symptoms. The present study is intended to determine long term outcome of patients suffering mTBI and to establish new prognostic models with the use of serum and saliva based biomarkers. For this purpose this study will not exclude patients regarding their comorbidities.
Development of objective, reliable, and convenient assessment methods of disorders of consciousness is crucial. We aim to conduct multicenter prospective observational study and non-invasively collect EEG from patients with traumatic coma to analyze the sequential characteristics of EEG power spectrum, and explore their prognostic value for consciousness recovery.
The goal of this or clinical trial is to explore efficacy of stellate ganglion block on dysphagia and activities of daily living in Traumatic Brain Injury Patients. The main question it aims to answer are: Can stellate ganglion block improve the dysphagia and activities of daily living in Traumatic Brain Injury Patients. Traumatic Brain Injury Patients will be divided into the the control group and observation group evenly. All the patients were provided with routine therapy, while the patients in the observation group were given stellate ganglion block. The swallowing function, and activities of daily living of the two groups of patients before and after treatment were evaluated.
