Autonomic Nervous System Dysfunction after Traumatic Brain Injury

A focus of our research laboratory is understanding how traumatic brain injury (TBI). impacts autonomic nervous system (ANS) function. We are studying how the ANS function is different in those hospitalized with moderate to severe TBI compared with healthy individuals. We are also investigating how changes in ANS function impacts outcomes up to one-year post-injury.

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy for Post-Concussion Syndrome

We are recruiting adults with symptoms 3-12 months after concussion to determine if Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) can decrease symptoms. Participants enrolled into the study will be randomized to HBOT or sham condition.

North Texas Traumatic Brain Injury Model System (TBIMS)

This study enrolls participants while they are still in the hospital rehabilitation unit after sustaining a moderate to severe TBI and are followed for outcomes at 1, 2, 5, 10, 15, and 20 years after injury and every five years afterward.
