Study of Sleep and Mental Health After Acquired Brain Injury Including Stroke and Trauma Tracking Changes Over One Year Post-Injury

What this Trial Is About

Researchers are investigating the relationship between poor sleep quality and mental health symptoms in adults who have experienced an acquired brain injury, such as stroke or traumatic brain injury, within the past year. This observational study aims to understand how sleep disruptions relate to neuropsychiatric symptoms and recovery over time, following participants at approximately three-month intervals up to one year after injury. Participants will undergo detailed sleep assessments using questionnaires, a wrist-worn sleep monitor, a portable brain activity sensor, and a sleep mat under the mattress. Mental health symptoms will be evaluated through questionnaires including the DSM-5 Cross-Cutting Measure. Optional sub-studies will explore long-term sleep patterns with a sleep mat and assess motor function recovery using clinical tests. Throughout the study, participants will complete assessments at baseline and at three-month intervals until 12 months post-injury. Data collection includes self-reported sleep and mental health questionnaires, objective sleep measurements, and clinical motor function tests for some. Researchers will monitor changes in sleep, mental health, and motor function, aiming to better understand their interactions and recovery patterns after brain injury.
