mTBI Brain Health and Recovery Lab

Overview

mTBI Brain Health and Recovery Lab logo

The mTBI Brain Health and Recovery Lab aims to improve the brain health and recovery of civilians, military veterans and service members, and first responders with a history of mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI). Our areas of focus include improving access to care, deepening understanding of outcome predictors, and developing and implementing targeted therapies. Our research programs investigate injuries ranging from sports concussion to combat blast injury, injuries in unique subpopulations such as military special operators or those with co-occurring substance use disorders, person-centered goal directed care, rehabilitation of vestibular and cognitive functioning, and development and implementation of technology delivered interventions. These efforts support us in offering innovative care in the SHARE Military Initiative and Complex Concussion Clinic.

Current Research Studies

SHARE Access Project: Improving Access to Comprehensive TBI Treatment for Military Veterans and Service Members with Co-occurring Substance Use

  • The purpose of this longitudinal study is to characterize and determine the prevalence of substance use among veterans and service members seeking interdisciplinary treatment for traumatic brain injury and co-occurring psychological conditions, as well as identify clinical variables that predict program entry, completion, and overall outcomes. This project also aims to provide initial validation of a concurrent TBI and substance use disorder treatment model. Funding is provided by the Arthur Blank Family Foundation.

Altered Central Multisensory Processing in Post-concussion Vestibular Dysfunction

  • The purpose of this study is to understand the brain physiology characterizing protracted recovery after concussion, defined as symptoms lasting for greater than 30 days. We are using advanced imaging and clinical testing to study brain activation and connectivity, distinguishing patients with persistent post-concussive dizziness from patients recovering normally from concussion. This study is being conducted with collaborators from Emory University and the Georgia Institute of Technology. Funding is provided by the National Institutes of Health.

Characterization of Brain Structural and Functional Connectivity Dysfunction and the Impact of Rehabilitation in Military Service Members and Veterans with Chronic Blast TBI

  • The purpose of this study is to understand the brain physiology characterizing chronic symptoms due to blast mTBI, defined as symptoms lasting for greater than six months. We are using advanced imaging and clinical testing to study brain activation and connectivity, distinguishing Military Service Members and Veterans with blast TBI from healthy controls.  This study is being conducted with collaborators from Emory University and the Georgia Institute of Technology. Funding is provided by the American Society for Neuroradiology and the Center for Advanced Brain Imaging.

Drive Safe: Driving Safety in Adolescents and Young Adults after Concussion

  • The purpose of this study is to ensure the safety of adolescent and young adult drivers after concussion. We are assessing simulated and on-road driving performance in both the acute and subacute phase after concussion for comparison with clinical concussion assessments used commonly in primary care and concussion clinics.  This study is being conducted with collaborators from the University of Georgia. Funding is provided by the Andee’s Army Brain and Spinal Cord Foundation.

Evaluation of SHARE Military Initiative Program Outcomes: Understanding the Relationship Between Patient Characteristics and Effectiveness of Clinical Care

  • This research seeks to evaluate the outcomes of military service members, veterans, and first responders who have completed rehabilitation care at SHARE by examining demographic, injury characteristics, clinical variables, and outcome measures data collected for clinical care and program evaluation purposes.

Telehealth and Hybrid Treatment for Military Service Members and Veterans Recovering from mild Traumatic Brain Injury

  • The purpose of this project is to take a research-informed approach to expand and improve SHARE’s hybrid (telehealth and in-person care) treatment program. Funding is provided by the Wounded Warrior Project.

SUCCESS: Success in College after Concussion with Effective Student Supports

  • The purpose of this project is to develop and test a peer mentoring program for college students seeking care through Shepherd Center’s Complex Concussion Clinic. This study is being conducted with collaborators from the University of Georgia. Funding is provided by the Andee’s Army Brain and Spinal Cord Foundation.

Military Service Member & Veteran Goal Directed Comprehensive Care Outcomes in Chronic Mild Traumatic Brain Injury

  • The purpose of this study is to evaluate patient outcomes in the SHARE program for participants from 2015-2018 to determine if intensive, comprehensive multidisciplinary care driven by person-centered goals also leads to improvement in symptoms and reduced impairment in previously intractable patients with chronic mild traumatic brain injury.

SwapMyMood mobile app development and testing

  • The purpose of this study is to develop and test SwapMyMood, a mobile app designed to assist people with brain injury to engage in problem-solving and emotion regulation. The app is an electronic mobile version of evidence-based tools that were previously only available in paper format and was designed with input from clients and staff in the SHARE Military Initiative. Funding is provided by the LiveWell RERC via a grant from the National Institute on Disability, Independent Living and Rehabilitation Research.

Rehabilitation Pathways after Concussion: Understanding Management of Cognitive Communication Complaints

  • The purpose of this study is to inform clinical practice through increasing knowledge and understanding about the frequency of cognitive-communication challenges experienced by adolescents and adults with mild traumatic brain injury, the relationship between various measures of cognitive communication to other mTBI symptoms as well as the referral patterns of medical providers and the impact of subsequent treatment (or non-treatment) on amelioration of cognitive-communication complaints. This study is being conducted with collaborators from the University of Georgia.

tDCS Paired with Exercise and Attention Training Compared with Exercise Alone with Attention Training for TBI

  • The purpose of this study is to inform clinical practice through increasing knowledge and understanding about the use of transcranial stimulation paired with exercise on memory and attention training compared to exercise alone in adults with mild traumatic brain injury.
