Filter by:This is a study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the IBRF ACP/MCP intervention protocol in patients with severe disorders of consciousness (SDOC).
Aim : To assess the ability of healthy subjects and patients with a severe motor disability to voluntary control their attention Material and Methods: Population: healthy subjects, patients with brain injury Electroencephalographic study to research attentional modulation during different kind of stimulation (visual, auditory, tactile) Sudy 1: passive recording. Study 2: active recording (instruction of attentional control given to the subject). Study 3: active recording with a feedback obtained after a processing of the brain activity.
The NeST registry is a pro-active industry-academic collaboration to assess the use and safety of NeuroAiD in the real world setting. An online entry system was set up to allow easy data entry and retrieval of clinical information.
The cough assessment is fundamental in the weaning process as it gives information on the possibility to expel food and secretion out from the airways. The majority of persons suffering from severe acquired brain injury are not able to cough voluntary due to severe cognitive deficit. In the present study, it would be evaluated the intensity of the reflex cough (RC) and the results would be correlated with weaning outcome.
The purpose of the study is to test the effectiveness of training using novel tablet applications for hand function, compared to traditional hand exercises. In addition, we aim to examine brain plasticity following treatment with the new tablet applications. We hypothesize that training with a tablet would prove to be more effective than traditional exercises. We expect to observe neuroplastic changes in the brain in patients who practiced finger movements using the tablet.
We will observe epileptic patients who already have electrodes implanted on the brain and are receiving high-level brain stimulation for clinical purposes while testing their motor and language function. We propose to do a limited, low-level brain stimulation to show that the signatures of local activity in the target area change as an effect of brain stimulation. The goal of this study is to understand the feasibility of a novel recurrent brain-computer interface that could eventually promote targeted functional recovery in subjects who have had a brain injury.
The purpose of this study is to discover a mathematic equation to express the intracranial pressure-volume (P-V) curve and a single indicator to reflect the status of the curve.
The purpose of the study is to investigate the potential benefits of a psychological therapy, called cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT), for improving emotional well being after acquired brain injury and to demonstrate its efficacy in both under telephone (T-CBT) and face-to-face group (G-CBT) modes of delivery compared to an educational control group.
The hypothesis is that brain injury patients have alterations of the respiratory system related to intraabdominal pressure. Furthermore application of moderate levels of PEEP may improve respiratory function in these patients.
