amphetamine and Brain Injuries

amphetamine has been researched along with Brain Injuries in 35 studies

Amphetamine: A powerful central nervous system stimulant and sympathomimetic. Amphetamine has multiple mechanisms of action including blocking uptake of adrenergics and dopamine, stimulation of release of monamines, and inhibiting monoamine oxidase. Amphetamine is also a drug of abuse and a psychotomimetic. The l- and the d,l-forms are included here. The l-form has less central nervous system activity but stronger cardiovascular effects. The d-form is DEXTROAMPHETAMINE.
1-phenylpropan-2-amine : A primary amine that is isopropylamine in which a hydrogen attached to one of the methyl groups has been replaced by a phenyl group.
amphetamine : A racemate comprising equimolar amounts of (R)-amphetamine (also known as levamphetamine or levoamphetamine) and (S)-amphetamine (also known as dexamfetamine or dextroamphetamine.

Brain Injuries: Acute and chronic (see also BRAIN INJURIES, CHRONIC) injuries to the brain, including the cerebral hemispheres, CEREBELLUM, and BRAIN STEM. Clinical manifestations depend on the nature of injury. Diffuse trauma to the brain is frequently associated with DIFFUSE AXONAL INJURY or COMA, POST-TRAUMATIC. Localized injuries may be associated with NEUROBEHAVIORAL MANIFESTATIONS; HEMIPARESIS, or other focal neurologic deficits.

Trial Outcomes

Change in Arm Motor Abilities Test (AMAT) at 6 Months Post-Treatment

"The Arm Motor Abilities Test (AMAT) is an assessment of the participant's ability to do 9 standardized upper limb tasks. Each task is composed of 1 to 3 component tasks, each of which is rated on an ordinal scale of 0 to 5. The final score is the average of all component task scores across all 9 compound tasks.~Min=0; Max=5. Higher scores mean a better outcome." (NCT01688856)

Change in Box and Block Test (BBT) Score at 6 Months Post-Treatment

The BBT counts how many blocks a participant can pick up, move over a barrier, and release in 60 seconds. Higher scores mean a better outcome. (NCT01688856)

"The Upper Extremity Fugl-Meyer (UEFM) is an assessment of motor impairment of the upper limb in which the participant is asked to make specific movements of the arm, forearm, wrist, and hand. Each movement is scored 0, 1, or 2 and the subscores are summed.~Min=0; Max=66. Higher scores mean a better outcome." (NCT01688856)
