Clinical Trial Comparing the Efficacy of Two Teletherapy Programs at Improving Psychological Health in People With Brain Injury (NCT07436754)
Clinical Trial to Evaluate the Efficacy of Building Emotional Self-awareness Teletherapy (BEST) at Improving Psychological Health in Service Members With Brain Injury
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
The purpose of the study is to test two different training programs to find out which is better at helping people with a concussion or mild TBI (mTBI) improve their emotional health and well-being. Study participation is completely remote and will last approximately 8 months total, involving 4 assessment visits and 8 sessions of brain training via a secure video-conferencing platform. The 4 assessment visits (about 30-90 minutes each) include surveys and questionnaires about participant's emotional health. These assessment visits will take place before the training, immediately after the training, 3 months after training and 6 months after training. The 8 sessions of 1-on-1 training (about 60-90 minutes each) will be completed over the course of approximately 1 month.
