About this trial
The two most common causes of brain injury are stroke and trauma. Both sleep and mental health problems are common after brain injury; we will investigate whether there is a relationship between poor sleep quality and worse mental health in this group. We will also follow patients up, at approximately three-monthly intervals until one year after injury, to see how sleep and mental health symptoms change over time and with recovery.
We will assess sleep in detail using questionnaires, a sleep monitor worn on the wrist, a portable brain activity sensor, and a sleep mat. We will assess mental health (neuropsychiatric) symptoms using questionnaires.
Participants will be asked to complete these assessments at baseline and at approximately 3-monthly intervals until they reach 12 months post-injury.
This data will allow us to explore the types of sleep disruption seen after brain injury and examine the association between sleep and mental health symptoms.
