Summary

The purpose of this research study is to evaluate coughing in people who have had a brain injury. It is hypothesized that individuals who have sustained a brain injury will demonstrate differences in cough waveform and respiratory measures compared to individuals who have not sustained a brain injury.

Conditions

  • TBI
  • Brain Injury

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Neuropsychological Testing and Measures of TBI severity

A brief cognitive assessment will be given to each participant when he or she presents for this project.

BEHAVIORAL

Respiratory measures

We will collect measures of cough airflow and breathing strength.

DRUG

Capsaicin cough sensitivity testing

Subjects will inhale a saline vapor mixed with various concentrations of capsaicin powder in order to determine how sensitive his or her cough response is.
