Study of the Approximate Entropy of Adrenocorticotropic Hormone and Cortisol Secretion in Patients With Head Injury

Status unconfirmed

Conditions studied: Brain Injury, Craniocerebral Trauma

In brief

OBJECTIVES: I. Determine the randomness of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) and cortisol secretion using approximate entropy in patients who have sustained a head injury. II. Determine the correlation between randomness of ACTH and cortisol secretion and stages of sleep in these patients.
