Minor Traumatic Brain Injury : MRI Examination of Consequences and Social Insertion

Conditions

Registration Number

Lead Sponsor
University Hospital, Grenoble
Brief Summary

Minor traumatic brain injury (mTBI) (Glasgow Coma Scale 13 to 15) represent 70 to 90% of traumatic brain injury. Different disorders may occur after a traumatic minor brain injury (somatic, cognitive or affective) within 2 weeks.

For 10 to 20% these symptoms are persistent and are part of post-concussion syndrome. Today a small amount of tools to predict this syndrome are available. Cerebral CT scan, a routine test for mTBI, isn't relevant to predict the post concussion syndrome.

In order to improve understanding of the evolution toward this complication, it seems relevant to run a multimodal study.

Multiparameter MRI combined to psychological and sociological evaluations cold provide a better global perception.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Compare the mean lesion volume fraction found in multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging between patients with and without post-concussions syndrome, three months after a mild Traumatic Brain Injury.3 months

Mean of cerebral volume fraction corresponding to lesions areas, found in multiparametrical magnetic resonance imaging (expressed as a percentage), 3 months after mild traumatic brain injury.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Clinical correlation of magnetic resonance imaging with symptoms.3 months

Look for a clinical correlation between psychological evaluation tests and magnetic resonance imaging observations such as damages zones.

Describe in both groups, the evolution of symptomatology at one year12 months

Describe in both groups, the evolution of symptomatology at one year with the Rivermead Post-Concussion Syndrome Questionnaire (RPCSQ). The Rivermead questionnaire ranges from 0 to 64. The presence of post-concussion syndrome will correspond to a score higher than 12.

Evaluate the impact of mTBI on patients' lifestyles12 months

Sociologic interview to understand the impact of mTBI on patients' lifestyles and social insertion.

Evaluate the impact of social characteristics and the resources mobilized12 months

Understand the impact of social characteristics at stake and the resources mobilized in the social life's re-establishment post TBI through a sociologic interview

Describe correlation between anamnestic risk factors, demographic data and post-concussion syndrome occurence3 months

Describe correlation between risk factor and the development of post-concussion syndrome.

Describe risk factors as demographic factors and medical history correlated with the development of post-concussion syndrome.

The risk factors studies will be:

* Age (median in years)

* Sex

* Cohabitation status

* Education

* Daily consumption of alcohol

* Smoking

* Glasgow score

* Loss of consciousness after the trauma

* Associated injuries This information will be obtained using the medical record and by interviewing the patient. The presence of post-concussion syndrome will be defined using the Rivermead Post-concussion Symptoms Questionnaire. The presence of post-concussion syndrome will correspond to a score higher than 12.

Level of asymmetry of the signal between each hemisphere, for each magnetic resonance imagings equence, and with the techniques of ROI (Regions of Interests): asymmetry threshold corresponding to a lesion.3 months

Measuring the level of asymmetry of the signal between each hemisphere, for each magnetic resonance imaging sequence, and with the techniques of ROI (Regions of Interests) ;to determine the asymmetry threshold corresponding to a lesion.

Graph metrics in resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging in both groups3 months

Describe the graph metrics in resting-state functional MRI in both groups

Evaluate the impact of social characteristics at stake and the resources mobilized6 months

Understand the impact of social characteristics at stake and the resources mobilized in the social life's re-establishment post TBI through a sociologic interview

Evaluate the experience of mTBI and post-concussion syndrome through the patient's personal appreciation, the judgement of family and friends and the medical follow-up of the general practitioner.12 months

Sociologic questionnaires to different actors of the patient recovery to understand the experience of mTBI and post-concussion syndrome :

* the patient's personal appreciation,

* the judgement of family and friends

* the medical follow-up of the general practitioner.
