Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
Pulsed Electromagnetic Field (PEMF) Reduction of CSF and Serum Biomarkers After Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI). The primary objective of this pilot study is to determine whether PEMF treatment (PEMF+) reduces the magnitude and duration of the increase in CSF and blood biomarkers after traumatic brain injury (TBI) compared to a PEMF untreated (PEMF-) group. Values in both groups are compared to uninjured brain CSF and blood biomarker levels obtained from hydrocephalus patients undergoing ventriculo-peritoneal shunt placement. A secondary objective of this pilot study is to determine whether PEMF treatment improves the physiologic status of the brain as evaluated by brain tissue monitors of thermal dilution cerebral blood flow (CBF), intracranial pressure (ICP), and tissue PO2 (PbtO2). Improved physiologic status would be reflected by increased CBF, PbtO2, and reduced ICP. Improved physiologic status may also be inferred from derived variables reflecting improved cerebrovascular and intracranial pressure autoregulation. A tertiary objective of this pilot study is to obtain preliminary data on the relationship between the time course and magnitude of post-TBI CSF and blood biomarker levels as they relate to three month outcome by Glasgow outcome score extended (GOSE) and modified Rankin Score (mRS).
