What this trial studies
Patients with acquired brain injury often have lasting problems with attention and working memory that affect mood, social participation, and quality of life. This study implements the online RehaCom computerized cognitive training (CCT) as a home-based component within a blended outpatient rehabilitation pathway. Participants receiving outpatient rehab who speak Dutch or English and have internet access will follow a prescribed home training program while clinicians monitor adherence and progress. The study focuses on feasibility, adherence, cognitive outcomes (attention and working memory), and effects on mood and health-related quality of life.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates are adults diagnosed with acquired brain injury who are currently in outpatient rehabilitation, can use the internet, and understand Dutch or English.
Not a fit: Patients with dementia, severe incapacity, no home internet access, or inability to use a computer are unlikely to benefit from this home-based program.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, home-based RehaCom could make cognitive rehabilitation more accessible and improve attention, memory, and everyday functioning for people with acquired brain injury.
How similar studies have performed: Multiple supervised computerized cognitive training studies have reported cognitive benefits after acquired brain injury, and RehaCom has supportive evidence, but home-based blended implementation is a more recent and less-tested application.
