Filter by:The goal of this clinical trial is to validate the efficacy of a Brain-Computer Interface (BCI)-based intervention for hand motor recovery in subacute cervical spinal cord injured (SCI) patients during rehabilitation. The study will provide evidence for the clinical/neurophysiological efficacy of the BCI intervention as a means to promote cortical sensorimotor plasticity (remote plasticity) and thus maximize recovery of arm functions in subacute cervical SCI. Participants will undergo an extensive clinical, neurophysiological, neuropsychological and neuroimaging assessment before and after a BCI training based on motor Imagery (MI) of hands. The intervention will be delivered with a system that was originally validated for stroke patients and adapted to the aims of this study. Researchers will compare the BCI intervention with an active MI training without BCI support (active comparator).
Determine the feasibility, practicality, and early efficacy of a TeleRehab program (ICARE) to improve outcomes for persons with traumatic brain injury (TBI) in recognizing and responding to others' emotions alongside their care partner (CP).
This topic will focus on the following questions: 1. Part one: To clarify the relationship between preoperative frailty and myocardial injury (cTnT ≥0.03) after non-cardiac surgery in elderly patients; To further explore the predictive factors of myocardial injury after non-cardiac surgery （MINS） in elderly frail patients before operation. 2. Part Two: To explore the effect of low-dose esmolol on myocardial injury after non-cardiac surgery in frail elderly patients.
This study aims to evaluate among trauma patients with hemorrhagic shock the clinical impact of hemostatic resuscitation between whole blood vs. blood components therapy in the following outcomes in a hierarchical analysis: mortality at 28 days and evolution of organ dysfunction.
This investigation is a randomized pragmatic trial of a brief stepped care intervention delivered from an acute care medical trauma center that may both reduce the symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and diminish emergency department health service utilization.
This is a double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel group study designed to assess the tolerability and efficacy of fsCBD and bsCBD, compared to a placebo control, to improve cognition and traumatic brain injury-related symptoms. If eligible for the study, subjects will be randomized to receive one of the conditions for 12 weeks.
The researchers aim to study the role of contrast ultrasound in detecting post-traumatic splenic, hepatic, and renal PAs compared with the gold standard of CT with intravenous contrast at different follow-up time points, and whether it can replace CT scan in the follow-up of solid organ injuries
Ankle fractures are a common injury with potentially significant morbidity. Syndesmosis injury occurs in 10% to 13% of ankle fractures and poses a greater risk to long-term outcomes for patients. The gold standard for syndesmosis fixation has traditionally been screw fixation. However, issues with screw fixation include screw breakage, screw loosening, reoperation, and malreduction. Due to growing concerns with static screw fixation, implants based on the flexible suture button design, such as the TightRope system, gained traction. The Fibulink Syndesmosis Repair System, a relatively new design that became clinically available in 2017, has showed promising results. To our knowledge, there is no study that directly compares outcomes with the Fibulink implant to suture button implants.
This study is a prospective, multicenter, parallel-group, open-label, randomized controlled clinical trial. Sepsis is defined as organ dysfunction induced by infections. And sepsis and gastrointestinal injury can be the leading cause for each other. Our previous study showed erector spinae plane block improved the organ dysfunctions in patients with AGI. The aim of the clinical trial is to investigate erector pinae plane block improves the organ dysfunction in septic patients with acute gastrointestinal injury.
This study has two main goals: 1) to refine and enhance the R2R-TBI intervention; and 2) to examine the efficacy of the R2R-TBI intervention in a randomized control trial. To achieve the second goal, we will employ a between-groups randomized treatment design with repeated measures at baseline, one-month post-randomization, and at a six-month follow-up. The two conditions will be: a) usual medical care plus access to internet resources regarding pediatric brain injury (Internet Resources Comparison group, IRC), and b) usual medical care plus the R2R-TBI intervention (Road-to-Recovery group, R2R-TBI).
