Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this research study is to investigate the effectiveness of a technique designed to improve processing speed (i.e. the amount of time it takes to process information) in a Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) population. The study is designed to study how well this technique can help people with TBI increase their processing speed and their ability to function better in everyday life.


Clinical Trial Description

The current proposal is designed to apply this treatment protocol to a large sample of individuals with moderate to severe TBI with documented impairment in PS. The goals of the trial are to (a) test the efficacy of this treatment protocol within a TBI population, (b) evaluate the impact of the treatment on everyday functioning, (c) evaluate the longer-term efficacy of the treatment, and (d) examine the utility of booster sessions in facilitating longer-term treatment effects. Individuals with moderate to severe TBI, with documented impairment in PS, will be randomly assigned to a treatment group or a control group. Both groups will undergo baseline, immediate post-treatment and long-term follow-up assessment consisting of: (1) a standardized neuropsychological battery and (2) an assessment of global functioning examining the impact of the treatment on daily activities. This design will allow us to assess the efficacy of SPT in persons with TBI and evaluate its impact on everyday life. ;
