NeuroRehab

Data Standards

Organized by domains and subdomains often used in clinical studies, data standards include:

  • CDEs — Classified as NeuroRehab Core, NeuroRehab [Disease] Core, or NeuroRehab Supplemental–Highly Recommended (NeuroRehab Classification Definitions)
  • CRF Modules — Template forms that logically organize CDEs for data collection
  • Guidance Documents — Provide further information about the CDEs
  • Instrument Notice of Copyright (NOC) Documents — Include pertinent information on recommended instruments (Instrument Notice of Copyright Information)

Form Search Instructions - Please Read Before Searching

The Form Search is designed to filter the CRF Modules, Guidance Documents, and NOCs on this page by Search Term, Domain, Subdomain, and/or Copyright Status. The Copyright field is designed to filter between forms that are freely available online and forms that are copyrighted or trademarked. Please note that regardless of copyright/trademark status, these instruments are not available on this website. All recommended instruments, regardless of copyright status, have informational documents posted on the NINDS CDE website which provide details concerning availability.

Helpful Hints:

Once you have completed your search, the search results will need to be expanded by clicking the Expand All button to view results.

The default setting for Domain, Subdomain and Copyright fields is ‘Any’.

Leave the Search Term(s) field blank to return all results or enter search terms or keywords to return any forms that match the terms that are entered.

Prospective Assessments for Suicidal Ideation and Behavior

Investigators should review the FDA’s "Guidance for Industry: Suicidal Ideation and Behavior: Prospective Assessment of Occurrence in Clinical Trials” for the most up-to-date information about suicidal ideation and behavior. One scale that FDA suggests is the Columbia Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS) (available at https://cssrs.columbia.edu/).

Overview

The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), in partnership with the National Center for Medical Rehabilitation Research (NCMRR) of the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) formed the Common Data Elements for Rehabilitation Research in Neurological Disorders (NeuroRehab) Working Group (WG) in 2020. Chairs were appointed to lead the overall WG and the twelve domain-specific subgroups: Assessments and Examinations; Comorbid and Behavioral Conditions; Motor Function; Treatment/Intervention Data: Devices; Treatment/Intervention Data: Therapies; Cognitive; Communication; Emotion Behavior Neuropsychology; Activities of Daily Living; Quality of Life; Participation; Infant Pediatrics. Subgroups met from October 2020 to July 2021 to develop their recommendations. See the roster for list of members by subgroup.

Neurorehabilitation (i.e., neurological rehabilitation) refers to a supervised program by an interdisciplinary team of health professionals (e.g., physiatrists, neuropsychologists, physical therapists) that is designed for individuals with diseases, trauma, or disorders of the nervous system. Neurorehabilitation can often improve function, reduce symptoms, and improve the well-being/health-related quality of life of individuals through active and dynamic processes and therapies. (Adapted from Johns Hopkins Medicine, 2021. Neurological Rehabilitation. Accessed 22Feb2021 from https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/health/treatment-tests-and-therapies/neu....)

The goal of the NeuroRehab v1.0 CDE project is to create a centralized resource of existing NINDS CDEs for neurorehabilitation researchers and determine areas for future development.

This project aligns with the existing NINDS CDE subdomain framework with some harmonization of subdomains. The working group focused their review on existing NINDS CDE recommendations to determine what is relevant to neurorehabilitation research. During the initial phase of the project, additional existing CDEs from other NIH-supported CDE efforts were also reviewed.

Additionally, v1.0 was limited to those instruments and CDE recommendations considered essential for all NeuroRehab studies (NeuroRehab Core), essential for disease-specific NeuroRehab studies (NeuroRehab [Disease] Core) or essential based on certain conditions or study types in NeuroRehab research (NeuroRehab Supplemental - Highly Recommended). Core CDEs for studies in infant and pediatric populations were also identified.

During the review, subgroups identified gap areas for their domains in the existing NINDS/NIH CDEs. These gap areas include new instruments, CDEs and subdomains, as well as Supplemental or Exploratory recommendations. For some subgroups, the existing NINDS/NIH CDEs relevant to their purview were limited. Identified gap areas will inform the direction of future work.
