“…Almost two-thirds (63.9%) of the participants scored abnormally high (11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18)(19)(20)(21) on the anxiety portion of the HADS. Those with TBI were more likely to have abnormal anxiety scores than those without TBI (noTBI: 41.7%, mTBI: 73.3%, m-sTBI: 77.8%).…”

“…Home-based telehealth is an appropriate option for chronic conditions when in-person appointments are unnecessary and the methodology has been demonstrated to be effective [17]. Bell et al conducted a randomized clinical trial to measure the effectiveness of a scheduled telephone intervention offering counseling and education to people with TBI on behavioral outcomes [18]. Scheduled telephone counseling and education resulted in improved overall outcome, particularly for functional status and quality of well-being, when compared with usual outpatient care.…”

Abstract-Tinnitus, or "ringing in the ears," affects 10%-15% of adults; cases can be problematic and require lifelong management. Many people who have experienced traumatic brain injury (TBI) also experience tinnitus. We developed Progressive Tinnitus Management (PTM), which uses education and counseling to help patients learn how to self-manage their reactions to tinnitus. We adapted PTM by delivering the intervention via telephone and by adding cognitive-behavioral therapy. A pilot study was conducted to evaluate the feasibility and potential efficacy of this approach for individuals with and without TBI. Participants with clinically significant tinnitus were recruited into three groups: probable symptomatic mild TBI (n = 15), moderate to severe TBI (n = 9), and no symptomatic TBI (n = 12). Participants received telephone counseling (six sessions over 6 months) by an audiologist and a psychologist. Questionnaires were completed at baseline, 12 weeks, and 24 weeks. All groups showed trends reflecting improvement in self-perceived functional limitations due to tinnitus. A follow-up randomized clinical study is underway.Key words: blast injury, clinical trial, cognitive-behavioral therapy, education, hearing disorders, military Veterans, rehabilitation, telehealth, tinnitus, traumatic brain injury.Abbreviations: CBT = cognitive-behavioral therapy, ESS = Epworth Sleepiness Scale, HADS = Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, ICF = informed consent form, IED = improvised explosive device, IRB = institutional review board, LOC = loss of consciousness, m-sTBI = moderate to severe traumatic brain injury (group), mTBI = probable symptomatic mild traumatic brain injury (group), NCRAR = National Center for Rehabilitative Auditory Research, noTBI = no symptomatic traumatic brain injury (group), OIF = Operation Iraqi Freedom, PC-PTSD =

“…Specific medications (such as sertraline [27] exercise [28], and cognitive behavioral therapy [29][30][31] are high on the list of evidence-based practices for improving mood and coping after TBI. In addition, there is evidence that online and telephone delivery of counseling and psychotherapy are effective [32,33]. Cognitive behavioral therapy, which includes a range of methods geared toward changing disruptive and maladaptive thinking habits, is consistently shown to help reduce anxiety, improve restorative sleep, and improve self-management and behavioral self-regulation [11,12,[29][30][31].…”

“…To prevent veterans from "falling through the cracks," the DVBIC also provides ongoing telephone follow-up of patients with TBI who have returned to their home communities. Regular contact with nurses specializing in TBI can help patients manage lingering physical, emotional, and cognitive symptoms [16][17]. Together with community-based care coordinators, the DVBIC team presents strategies for symptom management, ongoing consultation, counseling, and support to family members.…”

Abstract-Telemedicine plays a critical role within the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Veterans Health Administration by allowing the surveillance and care of patients who are isolated by geography, poverty, and disability. In military settings, telemedicine is being widely used to identify injury and illness and aid in the treatment, rehabilitation, and recovery of combat-wounded soldiers in theater. Rapid advances in both domains are transforming the way clinicians provide care, education, and support to patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI) and their families. This article discusses the military and VA telemedicine capabilities that are supporting the care of service members and veterans with TBI. These capabilities include new technologies that enhance the identification of TBI, management of symptoms in theater, and application of proven technologies (interactive video, Internet, and World Wide Web) to improve overall care coordination throughout military and VA systems. The impact of distance learning, teleconsultation, telerehabilitation, and home telehealth programs is also described within this context.
