Clinical Trial Summary

The primary purpose of this research is to evaluate the impact of a telehealth-based, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) intervention (problem-solving training: PST) for adult informal military family/friend caregivers of OIF/OEF service members with a deployment-related TBI.


Clinical Trial Description

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) has gained increasing attention in American society as it is now considered the "signature injury" of the Operation Iraqi Freedom/Operation Enduring Freedom (OIF/OEF) campaigns. The chronic changes that often occur in the wake of TBI along with possible physical injuries may run a chronic, unremitting course, imposing great strain and distress upon family members who often assume a caregiver role with little preparation and no formal training for these wounded service members as they reintegrate back into civilian life post-deployment. Unfortunately, research has not adequately addressed the unique long-term needs of informal military caregivers of deployed service members with TBI (i.e., family members/close friends). ;
