: Brain Injury News and InformationNew brain injury registry to track victims of brain trauma
By Michael Kaplen
The University of Iowa has launched a brain injury registry to track and study traumatic brain injury, ranging from mild to severe and will include concussions incurred in sporting activities, brain injury from accidents including car accidents and falls and brain injuries sustained by returning military service members.
The Iowa Traumatic Brain Injury Registry is designed to help researchers gain information to improve brain-injury patients? quality of life.
?We learn the effects of traumatic brain injury on behavior and how the brain reorganizes and recovers, but we want to know more about who?s going to get better, how can we help them get better, and what we can do to put all brain-injury survivors on a better life trajectory,? said Melissa Duff (top, left), assistant professor of communication sciences and disorders in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences and faculty member in the neuroscience interdisciplinary graduate program. ?We?re aware of some of the ways we can help them recover, but at this point we?re really only scratching the surface.?
Those interested in participating in the registry should email Duff or telephone her at 319-356-8532.
