Improving Neurotrauma by Depolarization Inhibition With Combination Therapy (INDICT)
See full descriptionAbout the trial for Brain Injuries, Traumatic
Treatment Groups
This trial involves 2 different treatments. Full-band Electrocorticography is the primary treatment being studied. Participants will all receive the same treatment. There is no placebo group. The treatments being tested are in Phase 2 and have already been tested with other people.
Eligibility
This trial is for patients born any sex aged 18 and older. There is one eligibility criterion to participate in this trial as listed below.

What are common treatments for brain injuries, traumatic?
Treatment should be tailored to injured individuals' needs from the initial management of the injury to ongoing care after the injury. Treatment is based on whether the injury is a concussion, a traumatic brain injury, or a non-traumatic neurodegenerative disorder. Common brain injuries that require treatment include traumatic brain injury, traumatic brain injury with seizures, and traumatic brain injury without seizures. Common treatments include surgery, medical and physical therapy, and medication. Most physicians and rehabilitation specialists can provide effective treatment for common non-traumatic brain injuries, including mild traumatic brain injury, post-concussive syndrome and traumatic brain injury with post-traumatic seizures.
What is brain injuries, traumatic?
Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) are common injuries occurring in the American population. They vary in severity and are influenced by multiple factors. This article presents a concise and informative article on how to care for TBIs.
How many people get brain injuries, traumatic a year in the United States?
About 3 million individuals will sustain an acute traumatic brain injury a year in the United States. As a result of these injuries medical expenditures will increase $16,700,000 annually.
What are the signs of brain injuries, traumatic?
There are many possible neurological signs that could develop after an injury. A comprehensive neurological examination should be performed to diagnose the cause of the neurological deficits.\n\n- Abnormal sensations in the arms or legs\n- Diffuse muscle weakness or paralysis\n- Changes to vision such as double vision or loss of sight.\n- Problems with hearing, such as ringing in the ears.\n- Difficulty with the eye's coordination or focusing (particularly when the eyes are closed.\n- Headache.\n- Changes to behavior or perception of reality.
Can brain injuries, traumatic be cured?
Trauma cannot be cured. Attempts to avoid or avoid treatments of traumatic brain injury have proven ineffective in relieving the symptoms, prolonging the time spent in hospital, and increasing medical costs. Traumatic injury in the head is an inescapable reality for both patient and healthcare practitioner and cannot be avoided. In the worst-case scenario, this injury could only lead to death. We propose that efforts to reduce injury and recovery to the brain cannot be cured but can be managed. This paper provides a systematic overview of the current status of interventions designed to prevent and treat traumatic brain injury without success.
What causes brain injuries, traumatic?
Many factors may play a role in the causation of head injuries. For instance, sporting injuries are more common among adolescents and are not related to age. The most frequently injured bones are the long bones of the leg and arms, and the lower body.
Does brain injuries, traumatic run in families?
The present study suggests that traumatic brain injuries and TBIs are highly prevalent across all families, irrespective of socioeconomic status. Data from a recent study are reassuring, given that these injuries, which can potentially lead to long-lasting and detrimental psychological problems are growing in number. While the family is the first resource to deal with these injuries, its impact on socio-psychological well-being and that of the child remains to be ascertained.
Has full-band electrocorticography proven to be more effective than a placebo?
Findings from a recent study of this study are not entirely consistent with previous studies which found that placebos have equivalent efficacy to true sham sham ECoG. However, further investigations are required.
Have there been any new discoveries for treating brain injuries, traumatic?
A more holistic view of treating brain injuries is required for an effective recovery. New therapies should be introduced as soon as possible for better outcomes.
Does full-band electrocorticography improve quality of life for those with brain injuries, traumatic?
Full-band ECG is an efficient means of documenting all-important brainstem function, and ECOG enables the inclusion of patients for whom the clinical course might otherwise be difficult.
How does full-band electrocorticography work?
The amplitude and morphology of the local and distant components in response to a short tone burst indicate that the local component is a summation of afferent, synaptic and tonic inhibition. The local component is the result of the activation of synaptic and somatic fibers within the brainstem, while the distant component indicates cortical activation. The localization and amplitude of both components are constant throughout mRS.
What is full-band electrocorticography?
Results of the study show clear differences between BECoG and EEG of the frontal cortex and between the results of BECoG in the left and right cerebral hemispheres and the values from both hemispheres (for comparison see Table 3). It is probable that the cerebral cortex is the site of the epileptogenic activity; so that an "electrodermal effect" or "electric effect" is detected in a group of patients with an epileptic syndrome. It is worthwhile to emphasize that our idea is not to determine the location of epileptogenic zones in the cortex; only to identify the epileptic foci with BECoG.
