Using prismatic adaptation and serious games for cognitive rehabilitation in 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 study evaluates the effects of prismatic adaptation combined with serious games on cognitive and behavioral deficits in patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI). It compares this novel rehabilitation protocol to traditional rehabilitation methods without prismatic adaptation. The study also aims to assess functional cognitive outcomes and changes in resting-state EEG patterns during treatment. By exploring these innovative interventions, the research seeks to enhance cognitive functions and improve rehabilitation strategies for TBI patients.
