Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The study investigates whether the use of eye movement recordings can provide a reliable diagnostic of previously undiagnosed mild traumatic brain injury (blast and impact) in Operations Enduring Freedom or Iraqi Freedom (OIF/OEF) veterans.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Eye movements are recorded for Operations Enduring Freedom or Iraqi Freedom (OIF/OEF) veterans with mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) and compared to the eye movements of those without mTBI. By analyzing and characterizing the differences between the two groups, a diagnostic measure of mTBI through the use of eye movements can be developed.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Control

Control subjects with no Mild Traumatic Brain Injury (MTBI) and no Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)

No interventions assigned to this group

MTBI

Subject with a diagnosis for Mild Traumatic Brain Injury (MTBI)

No interventions assigned to this group

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* OIF/OEF Veteran;
* Neuropsych diagnosis of MTBI

Exclusion Criteria

* chronically abusing alcohol or illicit drugs.
* uncorrected vision prevents subject from effectively viewing the stimuli, unless they can wear contact lenses during the recording session.
* inability to make normal eye movements (i.e.: saccades, smooth pursuit) required by study paradigms. Note: Deficit can be caused by taking medications that can potentially affect eye movements or any neurological condition that can interfere with making normal eye movement.
* psychological or psychiatric conditions that preclude sustained concentration or ability to perform the tasks.
