Participate in Research Studies
Veterans participated in a research study on eye movement control and brain imaging in military Veterans with prior mild traumatic brain injury compared to Veterans without history of brain injury.
Eligible Participants Were:
- a military Veteran
- between the ages of 18 and 65 years
- did not have clinically defined significant eye disease
Research study involvement:
All eligible participants were asked to attend a visit for approximately 3.5 hours on the University of Colorado Anschutz
- completed an eye exam
- completed two computerized tests of eye movement
- completed two neuropsychological measures and a survey of posttraumatic stress
- underwent brain MR imaging
- compensation was provided for participants who complete all testing

Veterans participated in a research study on irritability, standing balance, and auditory processing, including brain imaging in military Veterans with prior mild traumatic brain injury compared to Veterans without a history of brain injury.
Eligible participants were:
- a military Veteran
- between the ages of 18 and 65 years
- able to stand and walk without assistance
Research study involvement:
All eligible participants were asked to attend a total of one visit for approximately 4.5 hours on the University of Colorado Anschutz
- completed surveys on irritability, post traumatic stress, and pain
- underwent computerized testing of balance, hearing and processing of sound
- underwent brain MR imaging
- compensation was provided for participants who complete all testing

This research study examined postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) in persons with prior mild traumatic brain injury (concussion) compared to people without history of concussion or POTS.
Eligible participants were:
- someone with a history of concussion
- someone who has POTS or have symptoms while standing that are consistent with POTS, such as: lightheadedness, rapid heart beat, exercise intolerance, fatigue
- between the ages of 18 and 65 years
OR, someone:
- without a history of concussion
- without POTS or symptoms while standing that are consistent with POTS
- between the ages of 18 and 65 years
Research study involvement included:
- all eligible participants were asked to attend a total of two visits for approximately 3.0 hours total, one on the University of Colorado Boulder Campus and the other on the University of Colorado Anschutz
- on the Boulder Campus, participants underwent postural change tolerance tests while having their heart function (e.g., heart rate, blood pressure) monitored with a noninvasive device on their hand
- on the CU Anschutz campus, participants underwent brain MR imaging
- compensation was provided for participants who complete all testing
