Comparing technology-based training with conventional therapy for cognitive improvement in traumatic brain injury patients
To Compare the Effect of Receiving the Technology-based Training Along With the Conventional Therapy to the Conventional Therapy Alone on Executive Functions Among People With Traumatic Brain Injury With Mild to Moderate Cognitive Deficit: A Pilot Randomized Control Trial
NA · Hamad Medical Corporation · NCT06080269
This study tests if adding technology-based training to regular therapy can help people with mild to moderate brain injuries improve their thinking skills better than just regular therapy alone.

What this trial studies
This clinical trial aims to evaluate the effectiveness of technology-based training combined with conventional therapy versus conventional therapy alone in enhancing executive functions among individuals with mild to moderate cognitive deficits following traumatic brain injury. Participants will be randomly assigned to either an intervention group, receiving additional technology-based training, or a control group, receiving standard rehabilitation. The study will assess cognitive improvements using various standardized measures before and after the intervention. The goal is to determine if the technology-based approach leads to significant enhancements in cognitive function.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates are adults aged 18 to 60 with mild to moderate cognitive deficits due to traumatic brain injury.
Not a fit: Patients with pre-existing neurological conditions or psychiatric disorders that affect cognitive function may not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could significantly improve cognitive rehabilitation outcomes for patients with traumatic brain injury.
How similar studies have performed: Previous studies have shown promise in using technology-based interventions for cognitive rehabilitation, suggesting potential success for this approach.
