Opioids activate the limbic system and results in acute cell injury hippocampal atrophy. Thespecific aims of this proposal are to test the hypotheses that humans with chronic pain on longterm,high-dose opioids: 1. Will demonstrate smaller hippocampal volumes by MRI. 2. Willperform more poorly on neuropsychological tests of memory and associated …
Traumatic cerebrovascular injury (TCVI) is common after traumatic brain injury (TBI) and an attractive target for therapeutic intervention. We will longitudinally measure cerebrovascular reactivity (CVR) by functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) in acute (3 days from injury), subacute, and chronic phases after TBI as a biomarker of TCVI as compared to …
The LATMI study uses functional MRI scans to characterize the response of neural blood vessels to increased CO2 levels. TBI patients will undergo assessments and follow up to determine the healing capacity of cerebral vasculature after TBI. Additionally, the study aims to understand the role of endothelial progenitor cells in …
The goal of this study is to better understand that which contributes to the long-term recovery of people who have sustained a traumatic brain injury. To better understand an individual’s recovery following a head-injury, we will measure and examine the chemicals released in the brain and blood following the injury. …
This is a research study designed to look at the safety and effectiveness of the TriGUARD 3 cerebral embolic protection device in patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). The purpose of the study is to assess whether the TriGUARD 3 can prevent death, stroke, more subtle signs of brain …
The research study is being conducted to better understand brain metabolism, i.e. how the brain uses and consumes the various nutrients that are available in the blood. Changes in brain metabolism have been implicated in dementia and psychiatric disorders, as well as short- and long-term outcomes of traumatic brain injury …
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the clinical performance of the i-STAT TBI test for the proposed intended use; to assist in determining the need for a CT scan in patients presenting with suspected mild traumatic brain injury who are 18 years of age or older.
The overall purpose of this research is to understand the risk factors for Alzheimers disease after Traumatic Brain Injury, including time since diagnosis, ethnicity, and genetic predictors. It is the goal of this multi-center project to disentangle the multiple factors determining individualized brain response to injury and late-life outcomes in …
TRACK-TBI EPI is an observational study of the TRACK-TBI longitudinal cohort. Subjects will be contacted 2-5 years after their index TBI for consent to a phone interview. Those who screen positive for possible post-traumatic epilepsy will be invited for an in person visit, which will involve a clinical evaluation by …
Study of a home based occupational therapy caregiver training program for individuals who have traumatic brain injuries and their family members.
