Training to improve cognitive control after 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 clinical trial investigates the effectiveness of Goal Management Training (GMT) in enhancing cognitive control functions in individuals who have suffered an acquired brain injury. Participants will receive GMT in small groups, with a focus on identifying predictors of treatment outcomes and the impact of additional support through smartphone cues and booster sessions. The study employs a rigorous methodology, including self-report measures and performance-based cognitive testing, to assess changes in cognitive function over time. Data will be analyzed using advanced statistical techniques to ensure robust findings.
