NCT ID: NCT05115929 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Traumatic Brain Injuries

Standard Craniectomy Against Laparotomy for the Treatment of Traumatic Rise in Intracranial Pressure and the Effect on Long-term Outcome

SCALPEL
Start date: October 1, 2022
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Intractable high intracranial pressures (ICP) are associated with poor functional outcomes and mortality, so the SCALPEL trials aims to evaluate the effect of decompressive craniectomy against decompressive laparotomy to lower those pressures in diffuse TBI. The primary outcome measure for that evaluation is functional outcome after 12 months on the extended Glasgow Outcome Scale (GOS-E).

Assessment of the Effects of Early Proprioceptive Stimulations in Patients With Severe Traumatic Brain Injury

TC-Mouv
Start date: October 20, 2021
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

"Severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a serious condition, common in young adults. It leads to sensorimotor and cognitive sequelae that hinder social reintegration. Neuronal plasticity must be used quickly before natural recovery impedes neuronal regrowth. In this respect, stopping sedation as soon as possible and early mobilization, even if the patients are unconscious, are recognized as useful measures to promote recovery. However, at the early stage, the environment of the ICU and the acute condition of the patients limit the rehabilitation possibilities. In such a context, functional proprioceptive stimulations (Vibramoov™ system, Techno Concept, France) could be a tool of interest. By using the proprioceptive signatures of cyclic movements, proprioceptive stimulations can elicit the illusion of these movements. A motor response can even be obtained through the interactions between the peripheral nervous system and the central nervous system. Finally, such stimulations facilitate the initiation of the mimicked movements. Some studies have already shown the benefits of proprioceptive vibrations. However, so far, these benefits have only been studied at the chronic stage of neurological diseases. The investigators hypothesized that early functional proprioceptive stimulations (FPS) may reduce spasticity and promote recovery in patients with severe traumatic brain injury. To test the hypothesis, the investigators conduct a randomized controlled trial on patients with severe traumatic brain injury. Every patient will be included as soon as possible in the ICU and receive either FPS, either sham stimulations to the joints of the lower limbs, 4 times a week during 8 weeks. The primary outcome measures will assess spasticity. The investigators also assess pain, coma recovery; muscle wasting and cognitive impairments. "

NCT ID: NCT02680210 Completed - Cognition Disorders Clinical Trials

Self-defining Memories in Patients With a TBI

IDENTITY
Start date: February 4, 2016
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The study will be conducted over 18 months. The main objective of this study is to explore the relationships between autobiographical memory and specific cognitive measures, as well as emotional and behavioural measures in patients who have suffered a moderate to severe TBI. Secondary objectives are to assess the psychometric properties of a self-defining memories questionnaire and to characterize autobiographical memory in the TBI population.

NCT ID: NCT02215187 Completed - Clinical trials for Traumatic Brain Injuries

Telehealth-Education-Based Program for Military Caregivers of Injured Service Members With Head Injuries

Start date: July 2013
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The primary purpose of this research is to evaluate the impact of a telehealth-based, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) intervention (problem-solving training: PST) for adult informal military family/friend caregivers of OIF/OEF service members with a deployment-related TBI.

NCT ID: NCT02110290 Completed - Cerebral Palsy Clinical Trials

Effects of an Adapted Ski/Snowboarding Program on Quality of Life in Children With Physical Disabilities

Start date: October 2010
Phase:
Study type: Observational

This study is assessing quality of life in children with a physical disability who participate in the Children's Hospital Colorado Hospital Sports Program (HSP), where children with physical disabilities are able to participate in more organized sports and active programs with the use of adaptive equipment. This study would assess a child's self reported and parent perceived quality of life before and after child participation in HSP for the winter season. The investigators aim to determine the level of child and parent happiness and satisfaction in specific quality of life aspects including: physical activities and health, feelings, moods, self perception, home life, friends, school, learning and bullying. The investigators believe that children with any physical disability will have a more satisfactory reported quality of life after participating in HSP for one or many years.

NCT ID: NCT00006447 Completed - Clinical trials for Traumatic Brain Injuries

Supporting Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) Caregivers

Start date: September 1997
Phase: Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

This randomized trial tested a 6 month intervention of computer network vs a control group (standard care) to improve quality of life and health status for traumatic brain injury (TBI) patients and their caregivers. The network, termed the Trauma Recovery Support System (TRSS), consisted of a central computer system connected via modem to a personal computer in the caregiver's home. Users could access via the Internet special modules and communication services to help them cope with their new roles as caregivers and with accompanying social isolation. These modules were an on-line discussion group, an "ask an expert questions" function, a database of previously asked questions with answers, a database of community resources, and a reference library.
