TBI TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURY

This study is testing whether a computer-based brain training program can help people in forensic mental health care. The training aims to improve thinking skills like planning and problem-solving, which are often impaired. Researchers hope better thinking skills will lead to few…

This study is testing a quick finger-prick blood test to help emergency room doctors decide which patients with a possible concussion need a CT scan. Researchers want to see if using this test can reduce unnecessary scans and shorten how long patients wait in the ER. They will al…

This study is testing whether a virtual program to help with memory and thinking skills is practical and helpful for refugees and asylum seekers who have a traumatic brain injury (TBI). Researchers will enroll 50 English or Spanish-speaking participants to try an 8-session progra…

This study is testing whether a treatment called hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) can help veterans who have traumatic brain injuries, PTSD, anxiety, or depression. Veterans will breathe pure oxygen in a special pressurized chamber to see if it improves their memory, thinking ski…

This study aims to find out if the benefits of hyperbaric oxygen therapy for people with traumatic brain injury last for years after treatment stops. Researchers will assess 100 adults who completed the oxygen therapy 1-4 years ago, checking their memory, thinking skills, and qua…

This study aims to understand how a concussion before age 6 might affect a child's developing brain. Researchers will use brain scans to compare 30 children who had a concussion with 30 children who had a minor arm or leg injury. The goal is to see if there are differences in bra…

This pilot study aims to see if a gentle, non-invasive electrical stimulation applied to the ear is safe and feasible for ICU patients with moderate to severe traumatic brain injury. Researchers will enroll 42 patients to test the device and measure its effect on blood markers of…

This study is testing a new way to detect harmful brain wave patterns, called cortical spreading depolarizations, in patients with severe traumatic brain injury (TBI). Researchers will place a special recording wire during a standard medical procedure to monitor brain activity. T…

This study aims to understand a condition called 'augmented renal clearance,' where the kidneys work faster than normal, in patients with severe brain injuries, strokes, or infections. Researchers will measure kidney function and drug levels in over 500 adult ICU patients to see …
