NCT01287156
Evaluation and Diagnosis of Potential Research Subjects With Traumatic Brain Injury
Conditions: Traumatic Brain Injury
Sex: All
Ages: 18 Years – N/A
Healthy volunteers: No
Enrollment: 1328
Sponsor: National Institute of Nursing Research (NINR)
Location: Washington Hospital Center Washington D.C. District of Columbia
Summary
Background:
\- The Center for Neuroscience and Regenerative Medicine is working to improve physicians' understanding of brain injury. More information is needed on traumatic brain injury (TBI), especially how well a person recovers from TBI and how the brain changes over time in people with TBI. To conduct this research, the center is sponsoring a number of research studies on TBI and is interested in evaluating individuals with TBI or post-concussive syndrome to determine if they might be eligible for future studies.
Objectives:
\- To develop a pool of individuals with traumatic brain injury and post-concussive syndrome for future research studies.
Eligibility:
\- Individuals at least 18 years of age who have symptoms of or have been diagnosed with traumatic brain injury or post-concussive syndrome and are willing to participate in future studies.
Design:
* Participants will be screened with an initial telephone interview, and will be asked to come to the National Institutes of Health for an in-person screening visit.
* At the screening visit, participants will provide a medical history, have a physical examination and complete a study questionnaire on their TBI and its symptoms, including how the injury occurred, when it occurred, and any previous brain-related injuries.
* Subjects may also return for a second visit at the NIH CC if eligible.
* Each visit may involve blood samples, an MRI scan, and a series of tests to evaluate brain function.
* Participants will also provide contact information to enable researchers to contact them for future studies.
Eligibility Criteria
* INCLUSION CRITERIA:
To be included, participants must meet all of the following:
* Age greater than or equal to 18 years of age
* Report having symptoms or diagnosis of concussion, TBI, post concussional syndrome, or post concussional disorder.
* Are able to provide informed consent or, have a legally authorized representative (LAR) provide consent.
* Are willing to have their contact information and data shared and stored by the CNRM for referral to current and future CNRM studies
EXCLUSION CRITERIA:
-Are unwilling or unable to cooperate with the study procedures
