The Relationship Between Fatigue, Sleep Disorders and Endocrine Abnormalities Following Traumatic Brain Injury
This study will test if patients with moderate to severe traumatic brain injuries also have
endocrine abnormalities, examine any existing relationships among fatigue, depression and
endocrine abnormalities, and the relationship between endocrine abnormalities, quality of
life, and community integration.
