WISBUSINESS: Medical College of Wisconsin: To lead landmark multi-center clinical trial in traumatic brain injury rehabilitation

The Medical College of Wisconsin (MCW) is leading a new multi-center clinical trial to evaluate an interdisciplinary rehabilitation model for military veterans and first responders with mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) and co-occurring disorders such as depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

Sponsored by Avalon Action Alliance, the Veteran’s Interdisciplinary Care for TBI and co-Occurring disorders Rehabilitation Trial (VICTORY-RCT) is one of the most rigorous rehabilitation studies of its kind to date. Researchers believe the findings could help shape future standards of care not only for veterans and first responders, but also for civilians worldwide living with the long-term effects of traumatic brain injury.

Mild TBI remains a leading cause of long-term disability and neurological impairment, affecting millions globally, including more than 500,000 veterans since 2000. Despite growing awareness around the lasting impact of concussion and brain trauma, access to coordinated, evidence-based interdisciplinary rehabilitation remains limited and inconsistent nationwide.
