Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
1. To study the variation in cortical hemodynamic response (changes in oxyhemoglobin, deoxyhemoglobin, total hemoglobin) to tasks measured with fNIRS in patients recovering from severe TBI 2. And to correlate fNIRS findings with outcome at 30 days, 3 months, and 6 months after injury using Glasgow Outcome Scale Extended (GOS-E) Timepoint: day 7 to 14 of injury,at 30 days, 3 months, and 6 months after injury using Glasgow Outcome Scale Extended (GOS-E)

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
1.To correlate the Coma Recovery Scale Revised scores with the fNIRS findingsTimepoint: during analysis
