CNRM research programs address the full spectrum of traumatic brain injury (TBI), with special focus on militarily relevant forms of TBI such as blast, penetrating, and repeat neurotrauma events, including the impact of anxiety and the concurrent development of PTSD with TBI. CNRM clinical research studies are developing more effective assessments across the continuum of TBI and PTSD, advancing neuroimaging to "see the injury," and testing treatment strategies for TBI and PTSD patients.
The CNRM has 25 approved studies, with 21 actively recruiting military and civilian TBI patients in the areas of:
Studies take place at many sites, including:
