Assessment of Dystussia in Traumatic Brain Injury
In Brief
A Early Phase 1 clinical trial evaluating Neuropsychological Testing and Measures of TBI severity, Respiratory measures, and 1 other intervention for TBI and Brain Injury. Completed, enrolled 4 participants across 1 site.
Detailed 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.
