ACQUIRED BRAIN INJURY

This study tests whether using virtual reality (VR) games can improve thinking skills like attention and problem-solving in people with severe brain injuries. Researchers will compare VR training to traditional cognitive exercises in 28 adults. The goal is to see if VR offers a m…

This study tests whether a gentle, non-invasive brain stimulation technique called HD-tDCS can improve word-finding difficulties in people who had a traumatic brain injury at least one year ago. About 24 adults will receive either real or fake stimulation during word and memory t…

This study tests whether a robotic tilt-table that moves patients' legs while standing them upright helps recovery better than traditional standing methods. It includes 118 adults with severe brain injury who are not yet able to stand. The goal is to see if this approach improves…

This study looks at why some people improve their thinking skills after a brain injury while others don't. Researchers will have 30 adults with mild cognitive problems do intensive computer-based brain exercises. They will measure changes in thinking, brain activity, and blood ma…

This study checks if a pressure-sensitive insole (Ceriter Stride One) can accurately measure walking patterns in people recovering from stroke, brain injury, or spinal cord injury. About 30 participants will wear the insoles while walking on a high-tech treadmill (GRAIL) before a…

This study looks at whether using a driving simulator can help adults who have had a brain injury feel more comfortable and confident before they try real driving. About 50 people with a valid driver's license and a history of driving will practice in the simulator for 8 sessions…

This study observes about 100 adults who have trouble speaking (dysarthria) after a brain injury. Researchers will record their speech and test their breathing to find patterns that help identify the type and severity of the problem. The goal is to give speech therapists better t…

This study looks at whether a web-based platform can be used to deliver cognitive and speech therapy to adults with brain injuries from stroke or critical illness. About 80 participants will use the platform instead of traditional paper-based therapy. The goal is to see if it's p…

This study looks at data from children with movement problems caused by conditions like cerebral palsy, autism, or brain injury. The children receive intensive, play-based therapy for several hours a day over weeks. The goal is to understand how well this therapy helps them gain …

This study looks at whether a training program called Goal Management Training (GMT) can improve thinking and planning skills in people who have had a brain injury. About 116 adults will take part. Some will get extra smartphone reminders to practice their skills, and some will g…

This study looks at how muscles change over time in children with spastic cerebral palsy. Researchers will use 3D ultrasound to measure muscle size, length, and quality. The goal is to understand when and why these changes happen, which could help improve treatments. About 229 ch…
