Descriptive Information
Brief Title ICMJE	Neurorehabilitation After Traumatic Brain Injury: Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging Study
Official Title ICMJE	Cognitive Rehabilitation Combined to Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation Following Traumatic Brain Injury: Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging Study
Brief Summary	The current study aims to better understand cerebral plasticity mechanisms to optimize non-pharmacological rehabilitation approaches for patients with traumatic brain injury.
Detailed Description	Cognitive impairment following moderate to severe traumatic brain injury are usual. To date, cognitive rehabilitation effects on cerebral plasticity and quality of life remain unproven essentially because of methodological biases. Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation is an innovative technique of noninvasive brain stimulation that showed efficacy in literature. The current study want to better understand cerebral plasticity mechanisms to optimize non-pharmacological rehabilitation approaches for patients with traumatic brain injury. The aim in the present study is to assess the effect of rehabilitation combined with Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation provided to traumatic brain injury patients with cognitive impairment on cerebral plasticity using functional magnetic resonance imaging. Effects of rehabilitation and Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation will be observed on functional magnetic resonance imaging activation maps acquired. Relationship between attentional outcomes measured in the neuropsychological assessment and activation extend will be explored.
Study Type ICMJE	Interventional
Study Phase	Not Applicable
Study Design ICMJE	Allocation: Randomized; Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment; Masking: None (Open Label)
Condition ICMJE	Traumatic Brain Injury
Intervention ICMJE	Procedure: transcranial direct current stimulation intensity provided will be 2 milliampere during 20 minutes using 2 electrodes (7x5cm). Anode electrode will be located on the right prefrontal dorsolateral area; cathode electrode will be located on the left supraorbital area.; Procedure: Specific cognitive rehabilitation Specific cognitive rehabilitation will be personalized regarding the cognitive complaint and will include a training part and an ecological part.; Procedure: Nonspecific cognitive rehabilitation Nonspecific cognitive rehabilitation will be focused on representation of body in space.; Procedure: transcranial direct current stimulation sham the same operation that transcranial direct current stimulating but it is a sham surgery; Radiation: functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging n-back task the n-back cognitive task was developed : 3 runs will be provided (0-back, 1-back and 2-back), each will be composed of 8 activation blocks and 8 resting blocks alternatively presented.
