Creatine for Concussion

San Diego, California
The proposed study aims to compare concussion recovery in those supplementing creatine and those not supplementing creatine. Specific aim 1: To compare number of days until asymptomatic between those taking creatine vs. those not taking creatine following a concussion. Hypothesis: The investigators hypothesize that individuals taking creatine will become asymptomatic sooner than those not taking creatine.Specific aim 2: To compare typical concussion assessment scores (i.e., symptom score, mental status, neurocognition, balance, motor coordination, and visual performance) between those taking creatine vs those not taking creatine following a concussion once asymptomatic.Hypothesis: The investigators hypothesize that individuals taking creatine will have better symptom scores, balance, mental status, and neurocognition assessment scores than those not taking creatine once asymptomatic. The investigators will calculate descriptive statistics for all demographic, days to asymptomatic, and concussion assessments. For specific aim 1, The investigators will calculate a t-test to determine if days to asymptomatic differed in those taking creatine vs. those not taking creatine. For specific aim 2, the investigators will calculate t-tests with Bonferonni corrections to determine if concussion assessment scores (Sport Concussion Office Assessment Tool-6 assessments, CNS Vital Signs, visual assessment) differed in those taking creatine vs. those not taking creatine.

This trial tests a small device that sends electrical signals through tiny needles on the outer ear to help children with pain, post-concussion symptoms, and post-COVID-19 symptoms. The electrical signals aim to reduce pain and improve brain function by stimulating nerves in the ear. The use of electrical currents for the treatment of disease has been considered since antiquity but it has only been in recent years that suitable devices have been available to scientific investigators to provide stimulation currents for clinical use.

The goal of this study is to investigate a new treatment for chronic symptoms after concussion or mild traumatic brain injury in people aged 18-65 years old. Chronic symptoms could include dizziness, headache, fatigue, brain fog, memory difficulty, sleep disruption, irritability, or anxiety that occurred or worsened after the injury. These symptoms can interfere with daily functioning, causing difficulty returning to physical activity, work, or school. Previous concussion therapies have not been personalized nor involved direct treatments to the brain itself. The treatment being tested in the present study is a noninvasive, personalized form of brain stimulation, called transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS). The investigators intend to answer the questions: 1. Does personalized TMS improve brain connectivity after concussion? 2. Does personalized TMS improve avoidance behaviors and chronic concussive symptoms? 3. Do the improvements last up to 2 months post-treatment? 4. Are there predictors of treatment response, or who might respond the best? Participants will undergo 14 total visits to University of California Los Angeles (UCLA): 1. One for the baseline symptom assessments and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) 2. Ten for TMS administration 3. Three for post-treatment symptom assessments and MRIs Participants will have a 66% chance of being assigned to an active TMS group and 33% chance of being assigned to a sham, or inactive, TMS group. The difference is that the active TMS is more likely to cause functional changes in the brain than the inactive TMS.

Mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) affects millions of individuals worldwide every year. It has long been thought that the vast majority of individuals who sustain a mTBI experience natural recovery with little or no intervention and return to baseline functioning within days to weeks of injury. However, recent large studies have demonstrated that a substantial number of individuals experience prolonged symptoms (e.g., cognitive impairment, headaches, affective symptoms). These symptoms, termed "Persistent Post-concussive Symptoms" (PPCS) are associated with significant functional disability and reduced quality of life (QOL) and can last for years post-injury. While PPCS can include affective, cognitive, and somatosensory/vestibular symptoms, objective and subjective cognitive symptoms - particularly in the domains of attention, memory, processing speed, and executive function - are among the most commonly reported following mTBI. There is currently no gold-standard intervention to address these symptoms. To address this gap, our research group developed a brief cognitive rehabilitation intervention called Tools for Rehabilitation and Cognitive Care (or On-TRACC). The goals of this clinical trial are: AIM 1: Compare the efficacy of On-TRACC to a psychoeducation control on reduction of self-reported cognitive post-concussive symptoms (Aim 1.1) and overall neurobehavioral post concussive symptoms and (Aim 1.2) following treatment and at 3-month follow-up (Aim 1.3) in a randomized clinical trial of community-dwelling adults with mTBI. AIM 2: Compare the efficacy of On-TRACC and psychoeducation on change in secondary outcomes, including cognitive self-efficacy, compensatory strategy use, self-management skills, and quality of life at post-treatment and 3-month follow-up. Exploratory AIM 3: Compare the efficacy of On-TRACC and psychoeducation on: primary and secondary outcomes at 6-months post-treatment and (Aim 3.1) explore whether engaging in On-TRACC leads to subsequent engagement in care by assessing whether there is a different level of participation in optional intervention booster sessions in the post-intervention period (Aim 3.2). All participants will: * Complete a series of assessments * Complete 6 treatment sessions via telehealth (either On-TRACC or psychoeducation) All participants will have the option of: * Attending weekly "Booster Sessions" between 3 and 6-months post-treatment * Completing neuropsychological assessments at 2 timepoints during the study

Mental health problems frequently complicate recovery from mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) but are under-recognized and under-treated. Our research program aims to identify evidence-based strategies for closing this knowledge-practice gap. Building on a successful pilot trial, the reseachers will evaluate the effectiveness of a clinical practice guideline implementation tool designed to support proactive management of mental health complications after mTBI in primary care.

This study will evaluate neurofeedback (NFB) training as a low risk, non-invasive, effective treatment for Veterans diagnosed with mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) and experiencing chronic post-concussive symptoms (PCSs). It is being funded by the Department of Veterans Affairs. Doing this study will help to determine if NFB will reduce chronic headaches and enhance sleep, attention and quality of life in Veterans with mTBI. NFB is like other biofeedback processes in which information about a person's specific body functioning is made known to the person through a special computer program, which can help that person make the specific body function work better through training. This type of training is usually fun and easy with the help of a coach and a computer. Nothing is ever put into a person's body with biofeedback and it is natural and safe. When a person becomes focused, calm and alert while training on an NFB system, the computer will recognize this and let the trainee know by automatically displaying on the computer screen the positive progression of the game they are playing, such as the plane moving forward or a flower opening. The brain really likes to be in this pattern and when it is happening, people feel good. As a result, any discomforts, like headaches or insomnia, experienced may decrease. After learning about the study, Veterans who agree to participate will be randomly placed into one of two groups, either an intervention group (who will receive NFB) or a control group (who will receive only usual care plus once a week 15-minute calls on health topics). Veterans will have an equal chance of being in either group. Those placed in the control, will also receive NFB after completion of the control group activities. Veterans who are placed in the intervention or delayed intervention group will receive NFB up to 5 times a week, but usually 3 times a week for a total of 20 sessions. Each session is an hour long. Both the intervention and control group will participate in four assessment sessions (lasting up to 2 1/2 hours each) that involve completing 12 questionnaires and a 20-minute attention evaluation. The assessment sessions will occur at the beginning of the study, at 4-6 weeks, at 8-10 weeks, and 2-months later. The participant will receive financial compensation for taking the baseline assessment, 4-6 week, 8-10-week assessments, and for the 2-month follow-up assessment. A participant will receive financial compensation for gas, time and valet parking for each intervention and assessment session. Participation in this research will last about 4 months for those in the intervention and 8 months for those in the delayed intervention group. All participants will receive the NFB treatment by the end of the study. A person who participates in this study may experience a reduction in his or her chronic headaches, and an enhancement of sleep, attention and quality of life. There may be a worsening of symptoms until the individualized training plan for a person can be identified. During an NFB session, brief moments, lasting only seconds or minutes, of dizziness while sitting, muscle tension, or tingling may be experienced. Most people feel relaxed and calm during and after NFB training. This project will be an important step towards a broader implementation of an evidence-based treatment solution for Veterans experiencing chronic headaches, insomnia and attention disorders. The experience of these chronic symptoms can lead to debilitation in all areas of Veterans' lives. This project will provide evidence for the use of NFB with Veterans to alleviate their chronic symptoms and enhance their quality of life. If supported, NFB will offer the investigators' Veterans an effective and non-invasive treatment option. NFB is a patient focused intervention that enables Veterans the opportunity for self-health management.

"I was diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer three months ago, metastatic to my liver, and I have been receiving and responding well to chemotherapy. My blood work revealed that my tumor markers have gone from 2600 in the beginning to 173 as of now, even with the delay in treatment, they are not going up. CT Scans reveal they have been shrinking as well. However, chemo is seriously deteriorating my body. I have 4 more treatments to go in this 12 treatment cycle. I am just interested in learning about my other options, if any are available to me."

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do Confusion clinical trials pay?

Each trial will compensate patients a different amount, but $50-100 for each visit is a fairly common range for Phase 2–4 trials (Phase 1 trials often pay substantially more). Further, most trials will cover the costs of a travel to-and-from the clinic.

How do Confusion clinical trials work?

After a researcher reviews your profile, they may choose to invite you in to a screening appointment, where they'll determine if you meet 100% of the eligibility requirements. If you do, you'll be sorted into one of the treatment groups, and receive your study drug. For some trials, there is a chance you'll receive a placebo. Across Confusion trials 30% of clinical trials have a placebo. Typically, you'll be required to check-in with the clinic every month or so. The average trial length for Confusion is 12 months.

How do I participate in a study as a "healthy volunteer"?

Not all studies recruit healthy volunteers: usually, Phase 1 studies do. Participating as a healthy volunteer means you will go to a research facility several times over a few days or weeks to receive a dose of either the test treatment or a "placebo," which is a harmless substance that helps researchers compare results. You will have routine tests during these visits, and you'll be compensated for your time and travel, with the number of appointments and details varying by study.

What does the "phase" of a clinical trial mean?

The phase of a trial reveals what stage the drug is in to get approval for a specific condition. Phase 1 trials are the trials to collect safety data in humans. Phase 2 trials are those where the drug has some data showing safety in humans, but where further human data is needed on drug effectiveness. Phase 3 trials are in the final step before approval. The drug already has data showing both safety and effectiveness. As a general rule, Phase 3 trials are more promising than Phase 2, and Phase 2 trials are more promising than phase 1.

Do I need to be insured to participate in a Confusion medical study?

Clinical trials are almost always free to participants, and so do not require insurance. The only exception here are trials focused on cancer, because only a small part of the typical treatment plan is actually experimental. For these cancer trials, participants typically need insurance to cover all the non-experimental components.

What are the newest Confusion clinical trials?

Most recently, we added Cervical Rehabilitation for Concussion Symptoms and Neck Pain, Tranexamic Acid for Reducing Bruising After Dermal Filler and Rehabilitation for Concussion to the Power online platform.
