Официальное название

Prevalence of Brain Health Versus Neurodegeneration in Former Professional Football Players

Обзор

This project will define the prevalence of brain health (i.e., normal cognitive, neuromotor, behavioral function) in living professional football retirees and group-matched controls through a comprehensive assessment of clinical, neuroimaging, and biomarker measures.

Вмешательства

  • Диагностический тест Cognitive/Neuropsychological Testing
    Comprehensive testing of cognitive function and brain health.
  • Диагностический тест Vestibular/Ocular-Motor Testing
    A series of tests and questionnaires that asses vestibular function, balance, ocular-motor coordination, and reflexes.
  • Диагностический тест Sleep Evaluation
    A full assessment of sleep health, including insomnia (duration, frequency, daytime consequences) and other sleep disorders such as obstructive sleep apnea. Overnight sleep study is included.
  • Диагностический тест MRI, High-Resolution
    A high-resolution MRI to provide qualitative and quantitative assessments of brain structure.
  • Диагностический тест Health & Physical Exam
    Participants will undergo an executive history and physical exam of all body systems.
  • Диагностический тест Physical Function
    These assessments will involve a series of tests and questionnaires that focus on physical function.
  • Диагностический тест Blood Testing and Biomarker Analysis
    A blood draw will be performed to measure standard clinical labs as part of a full history and physical, as well as additional analysis of biomarkers indicative of brain health. An optional lumbar puncture will be performed and CSF samples (20-30 mL) stored in the NCTC Biorepository until shipment to the CLIA-certified laboratory. Both CSF and blood samples will be analyzed for t-tau, p-tau, and Aβ42 and stored for future testing,
  • Диагностический тест Applanation Tonometry
    Hearth health is evaluated through testing of arterial stiffness and pulse wave reflections using a high fidelity applanation tonometer.
  • Диагностический тест PET brain imaging
    PET imaging of the brain using tau and amyloid ligands.
  • Препарат [C-11]6-OH-BTA-1
    PET imaging of the brain using an amyloid ligand.

Критерии участия

Критерии включения

Former professional football player/exposed group:

  • Professional football retiree aged 29-59
  • Played a minimum of 3 professional football seasons, with a minimum of 3 games in each season
  • Fluent in English (translations are not available/validated for most neuropsychological tests)

Control/unexposed group:

  • Age 29-59 male
  • High school education or beyond
  • Fluent in English (translations are not available/validated for most neuropsychological tests)

Критерии исключения

Control/unexposed group:

  • Played organized football beyond high school
  • History of severe TBI
  • Current unstable cardiovascular disorder

For both groups:

  • Prior history of psychosis (such as schizophrenia), or other major neurological disorder that would interfere with testing, in the opinion of the primary investigator.
  • Contraindication to MR imaging, such as ferrous metal, pacemakers, or concerns about claustrophobia

Критерии приведены из реестра в оригинале (на английском). Окончательную оценку соответствия проводит исследовательский центр.
