Sleep after traumatic brain injury: a wearable tracker study
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma, Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks at how sleep is affected after a traumatic brain injury (TBI). It uses a small wearable tracker to measure sleep patterns at home, either soon after the injury or a year or more later.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 18 and 60 years old.
- You must have a medically diagnosed traumatic brain injury (TBI) of any severity.
- If your injury happened recently (within 12 weeks), you can join the early part; if it's been more than 12 months, you can join the later part.
- You must be able to wear a small activity tracker (like a Fitbit) for 2 weeks at home.
- You cannot have a pre-existing sleep disorder (like insomnia or sleep apnea) or work night shifts.
- You cannot have another neurological condition like stroke, brain tumor, or epilepsy.

This trial studies an approach to improve insomnia (trouble falling or staying asleep) in people who had a moderate-to-severe traumatic brain injury at least one year ago. If you qualify, it may help you restore more regular, efficient sleep after TBI.
This study is looking at people with traumatic brain injuries to improve how they are treated. If you join, you will get an MRI and other tests within the first two days after your injury, and the researchers will track your recovery over time.
This study enrolls people who come to the emergency room with a mild head injury (concussion) within 24 hours of the injury. Researchers will collect a blood sample, have you wear a health monitor for 3 months, and check in by phone at 14 and 90 days to track your recovery.
This trial studies whether nurse-guided behavioral sleep therapy can improve insomnia in people recovering after a traumatic brain injury (TBI). It may help you sleep better by targeting sleep habits and insomnia symptoms.
This study collects medical and test information from people who have a confirmed brain injury (TBI) and arrive at the emergency room within 12 hours. Doctors hope the collected clinical and lab data will help better understand TBI and improve future care.
This study compares two types of talk-based therapy to help veterans with long-lasting insomnia after a traumatic brain injury (TBI), and also looks at related post-trauma stress symptoms. It may help you improve sleep and reduce how much these symptoms affect daily life.
