Find out which of our current research studies are enrolling participants. Learn more about the studies to see if you might want to be involved.

NATIONAL TBI DATABASE
The RRC contributes medical, psychosocial and demographic data to a collaborative TBI database. Information is collected while individuals are hospitalized and also through periodic interviews or evaluations. The data allow specific research questions to be answered from a national sample. To find out more about the TBI Model Systems and its National Database visit its website at www.tbindsc.org

FATIGUE AFTER BRAIN INJURY
This study looks at the impact of a home-based walking program on fatigue, depression, sleep problems, cognitive function, and general health. For more information, please download the study booklet.

For more information on our past research looking at the relationship between neuroendocrine function and fatigue after TBI, please download our consumer abstract "Fatigue after TBI: Association with neuroendocrine abnormalities".

For more information on our past research looking at how fatigue develops in the first two years after brain injury, please download our consumer abstract "Patterns of fatigue and its correlates over the first 2 years after traumatic brain injury"

CENTER FOR OUTCOME MEASURMENT IN BRAIN INJURY (COMBI)
The Center for Outcome Measurement in Brain Injury (COMBI) acts as a national resource for information regarding brain injury outcome scales. The center maintains information on the most widely used outcome scales in TBI. The COMBI can be accessed at www.tbims.org/combi
