BRAIN INJURIES, TRAUMATIC

This study tested a portable device called the Infrascanner to monitor people with traumatic brain injury. The goal was to see if it could accurately detect when a brain bleed gets worse, without needing repeated CT scans. About 400 participants with a confirmed brain bleed were …

This study tested whether a portable goggle system (I-PAS) can reliably diagnose mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) in community settings like urgent care or emergency rooms. Researchers enrolled 120 adults aged 18-50 who had a head injury with symptoms like loss of consciousness…

This study tested a new way to help active duty service members who had a mild traumatic brain injury (concussion) at least 6 months ago and still have trouble concentrating or remembering things. Researchers used a gentle brain stimulation technique called tDCS combined with cog…

This study tested whether two types of CBD (a cannabis compound) could improve thinking and reduce symptoms in people who had a mild or moderate traumatic brain injury. 43 adults took either CBD or a placebo for 12 weeks. Researchers measured changes in memory, attention, and oth…

This study tested a home-based program to help older veterans (65+) with a past traumatic brain injury improve their thinking skills, like attention and planning. 29 veterans took part, using technology at home to practice these skills. The goal was to see if this approach could …

This study looked at whether short sessions of breathing air with less oxygen (called Acute Intermittent Hypoxia) is safe for people who have had a traumatic brain injury (TBI). It also checked if this approach might help with memory, thinking, and movement. Twelve adults with mi…

This study looked at whether certain molecules in the blood, called micro RNAs, can help tell apart people with mild head injuries who have brain damage from those who don't. Researchers measured these molecules in 155 adults with mild traumatic brain injury and compared them to …

This study looked at 208 adults with severe brain injuries from bleeding or trauma. Researchers used a special device to track brain temperature and pressure over time. The goal was to see if patterns in these measurements could help predict how well patients would recover after …

This study looked at whether veterans with traumatic brain injury (TBI) and insomnia can measure their internal body clock from home. Thirty-one veterans wore a wrist device for a week and collected saliva samples at night. The goal was to see if these methods are practical and c…
