From Dr. Rose: “My name is Sean Rose, and I’m a pediatric neurologist at NCH. I completed a Sports Neurology fellowship, so much of my focus is on concussion. I conduct clinical research in children with acute concussion and children with prolonged symptoms after concussion.”
Specific projects include:
- Randomized controlled clinical trial of a form of counseling for the treatment of children with prolonged symptoms after concussion. This project also involves cognitive testing, advanced MRI, and actigraphs.
- Assessment of cognitive function, sleep difficulties, and brain waves in adolescents with prolonged symptoms after concussion. This project involves cognitive testing, sleep diaries, and an EEG while napping.
- Natural course of mild traumatic brain injury in young children (under 6 years old). This project involves enrolling children from the ER with concussion and conducting questionnaires and cognitive testing at several time points over the next year, as well as saliva sample and hair sample for various tests.
- Comparison of post-traumatic headache and migraines. This is a retrospective chart review of children with concussion and children with migraines, tracking their headaches over time.
Pre-requisite experience you require of prospective trainee who may join your research project: Experience with Excel and Word manipulation. Familiarity or ability to quickly learn how to obtain information from an electronic medical record.
Projects are rolling. We would try to match a trainee with a project currently ongoing.
