Traumatic brain injury research bolstered by $16 million in federal funding
Improving the lives of people who experience traumatic brain injury, and their families and communities, by creating and disseminating new knowledge about the course, treatment and outcomes relating to their condition.
Ohio Valley Center for Brain Injury Prevention and Rehabilitation, part of The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center’s Neurological Institute, conducts research, provides education and develops programs to improve the quality of life of persons who experience traumatic brain injury (TBI). The center serves individuals, families and professionals throughout North America, both as a TBI Model System and as the designated lead agency for the Ohio Brain Injury Program and the Star Behavioral Health Providers program.
Current Projects
The Comparing Treatment Approaches to Promote Inpatient Rehabilitation Effectiveness for Traumatic Brain Injury (CARE4TBI)
CARE4TBI project is a pragmatic, stakeholder-driven observational study which aims to: 1) standardize electronic medical record (EMR) documentation of rehabilitation therapy to allow extraction for research and operations, 2) compare the effectiveness of well-defined rehabilitation approaches to improve community participation and functional independence of patients with TBI, and 3) identify patient, provider, setting and post-discharge factors that modify the effect of therapy on key outcomes. In addition to rehabilitation clinicians, persons living with TBI from the Ohio Valley Center Advisory Council will provide input on study implementation and interpretation of findings. This project is supported by the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke of the National Institutes of Health under Award Number UG3NS117844.
