Targeted Evaluation, Action, & Monitoring of Traumatic Brain Injury

Summary

TEAM-TBI (Targeted Evaluation, Action, and Monitoring of Traumatic Brain Injury) is a research study that brings together TBI patients, advanced evaluation methods, and experts in a multi-faceted study to address the heterogeneity of TBI and to evaluate the effects self-help strategies might have on TBI outcomes.

Conditions

• Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Cognitive/Neuropsychological Testing

These tests will be used to determine how the participant will continue with future procedures, and depending on results, may involve the participant returning to complete subsequent testing.

OTHER

Vestibular/Ocular-Motor Testing

These assessments will involve a series of tests and questionnaires that focus on physical symptoms of TBI and will include dizziness, balance, ocular-motor coordination, and reflexes.

OTHER

Cervical (Neck) Evaluation

These assessments will involve a series of tests and questionnaires that focus on physical symptoms of TBI including neck mobility and pain levels.

OTHER

Sleep Evaluation

These evaluations will focus on assessing insomnia (duration, frequency, daytime consequences), combat exposure, and the presence and severity of trauma history.

OTHER

HDFT MRI

This MRI aims at providing qualitative and quantitative assessments of the nature, location, and extent of white matter injury.

OTHER

MR Spectroscopy (MRS)

This is a noninvasive diagnostic test for measuring biochemical changes in the brain.

OTHER

MEG (Magnetoencephalography)

This is a non-invasive neurophysiological technique that measures the magnetic fields generated by neuronal activity of the brain.
