Decision-making fatigue after a traumatic brain injury

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This is a prospective cohort feasibility study that enrolls adults with mild to moderate TBI and healthy control volunteers. Each participant completes three in-person visits at Hennepin Healthcare/University of Minnesota locations during the acute and subacute recovery windows. At each visit participants complete surveys and two computerized tasks (COGED and the Restless Bandit) that probe decision-making and mental fatigue. Data will compare task performance over time between TBI and control groups to determine feasibility and signal for decision-making fatigue.
