Traumatic Brain Injury and Stroke Long Term Outcome

July 18, 2022 updated by: Centre for Neuro Skills

Effects of Rehabilitation Following Traumatic Brain Injury and Stroke: A Long Term Outcome Study.

Investigators will determine the long-lasting effects of post-acute rehabilitation after traumatic brain injury and stroke. Investigators will also evaluate if the beneficial effects of rehabilitation continue after discharge from a rehabilitative program.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Recruiting

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

The long-term effects of rehabilitation will be evaluated on 60 patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI) and 60 patients that suffered a cerebrovascular accident (CVA) that underwent an comprehensive rehabilitative. These patients will be matched with subjects that received limited or no rehabilitation rehabilitative therapy. Thus, the total number of subjects in this study will be 240. Subjects will be contacted at least 1 year after discharge and will be lowed up every two-years thereafter for a total period of 10 years. Procedures will be performed in-person whenever possible. However, it is highly likely that the majority of participants will be contacted via phone interviews.

Aim 1: Determine if rehabilitation improves vocational status and living status after TBI and CVA.

Aim 2: Determine if rehabilitation improves life quality after TBI and CVA.

Aim 3: Determine if rehabilitation improves cognitive function after TBI and CVA.

Aim 4: Determine if rehabilitative benefits are sustained.

Aim 5: Determine if long-term outcome is dependent on the duration of rehabilitation.

Aim 6: Determine if long-term outcome is dependent on the nature of the rehabilitative treatment by comparing the effects of different types of rehabilitation. These will include the following: residential-multidisciplinary, day-treatment (i.e. full time multidisciplinary outpatient), outpatient (part-time), skilled nursing and no post-acute rehabilitation.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Sampling Method

Non-Probability Sample

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Effects of rehabilitation on long term occupational Status after injury
Time Frame: 1 to 10 years
Occupational Status Questionnaire
1 to 10 years
Effects of rehabilitation on long term cognitive function after injury
Time Frame: 1 to 10 years
Brief Test of Adult Cognition by Telephone
1 to 10 years
Effects of rehabilitation on long term disability function after injury
Time Frame: 1 to 10 years
Supervision Rating Scale and Disability Rating Scale
1 to 10 years
Effects of rehabilitation on long term quality of life after injury
Time Frame: 1 to 10 years
Quality of Life in Neurological Disorders Measures (NeuroQOL)
1 to 10 years

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Effects of rehabilitation on long term health after injury
Time Frame: 1 to 10 years
TBI and Health in Adults Questionnaire
1 to 10 years

Other Outcome Measures

Other Outcome Measures

For clinical trials, a planned measurement described in the protocol that is used to determine the effect of an intervention/treatment on participants. For observational studies, a measurement or observation that is used to describe patterns of diseases or traits, or associations with exposures, risk factors, or treatment. Types of outcome measures include primary outcome measure and secondary outcome measure.
