BRAIN INJURIES, TRAUMATIC

This study tested a portable device called the Infrascanner to see if it can accurately monitor bleeding in the brain after a traumatic injury. 399 patients with a confirmed brain bleed on their first CT scan were enrolled. The goal was to see if the scanner could detect when a b…

This study tested whether a portable goggle system (I-PAS) can accurately 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 consciousne…

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 moo…

This study tested a home-based cognitive training program for 29 veterans aged 65 and older who had a traumatic brain injury (TBI) and trouble with attention, planning, and memory. The program used telehealth technology to deliver exercises aimed at improving daily functioning. R…

This study tested a new approach to help active-duty service members who had a mild traumatic brain injury (concussion) at least 6 months ago and still struggle with attention and memory. Researchers combined a gentle brain stimulation technique called tDCS with computer-based co…

This study looked at whether certain molecules in the blood, called micro RNAs, can help tell apart people with mild head injury who have brain damage from those who don't. Researchers measured these markers in 155 adults within 6 hours of injury and compared them to healthy cont…

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 monitor for a week and collected saliva samples at night to track melatonin levels. The goal was to see if these …

This study looked at 208 adults with severe brain injuries from bleeding or trauma. Researchers continuously measured brain temperature and pressure to find patterns. The goal was to see if these patterns could predict how well patients would recover 30 days later. This was an ob…

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…
