TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURY (TBI) PATIENTS

This study tests whether vitamin D3 supplements can reduce inflammation and improve recovery in adults with mild-to-moderate traumatic brain injury. Researchers will give different doses of vitamin D3 or a placebo to 240 participants and track their blood markers and neurological…

This study tests whether a custom 3D-printed external skull cap can prevent Sunken Flap Syndrome, a condition where the brain sinks after part of the skull is removed. 72 patients who had decompressive craniectomy will either wear the cap or not, and researchers will compare brai…

This study tests whether a 'cafe therapy' program helps people with chronic traumatic brain injury improve their movement, thinking, and daily function. Twenty participants will work in a real cafe for 2 hours a day, 3 days a week, for 6-8 weeks, with supervision from researchers…

This study is testing whether a portable virtual reality headset can help diagnose and monitor traumatic brain injury (TBI) by measuring how the pupils react to light. Researchers will compare pupil responses in 150 people: those with mild to moderate TBI, those with other injuri…

This study tests whether daily training with colored lights can reduce light sensitivity in people who have had a traumatic brain injury. Twenty participants will use a device at home for 20 minutes a day, first with a blue light and then with a red light, or vice versa. Research…

This study tests a non-invasive device that sends mild electrical pulses to the ear to stimulate the vagus nerve. Researchers want to see if it can improve attention and memory in 30 veterans with traumatic brain injury, depression, or PTSD. Participants will try both the real st…

This study looks at how brain activity changes as people recover from a moderate to severe traumatic brain injury (TBI). It also tests whether giving a gentle electrical stimulation to the brain (called anodal transcranial electrical stimulation) early after injury can improve th…

This study tests a new computer system called SeeMe that can detect tiny movements in people with severe traumatic brain injury (TBI). Current exams may miss these movements, leading to misdiagnosis. The study will involve 60-80 TBI patients and aims to see if SeeMe can find sign…

This study looks at small molecules in the blood (metabolites) of people with severe traumatic brain injury compared to those with other injuries. Researchers aim to find differences that could help determine how serious a brain injury is and predict recovery. The study involves …
