Telehealth Rehabilitation for Veterans with Chronic TBI
This study is looking at two types of telehealth (remote healthcare) training for Veterans aged 18-65 who have had a mild to moderate traumatic brain injury (TBI) more than six months ago and are experiencing cognitive (thinking) difficulties. The goal is to see if these trainings can help Veterans improve their daily functioning and reintegration into the community. One training, called GOALS TH, focuses on goal-oriented attention and self-regulation. The other, EDU TH, is an active control training that matches GOALS TH in terms of time commitment. Researchers will measure neurocognitive performance, specifically overall attention and executive function, at the beginning of the study, after 10 weeks of training, and again at 6 months. The study plans to enroll 80 participants, but its current status is unclear.
- Study design
- This interventional study plans to enroll 80 participants. It compares two behavioral telehealth interventions: GOALS TH and EDU TH.
- What's involved
- You would participate in ten 2-hour group telehealth sessions, three individual 1-hour telehealth sessions, and approximately 20 hours of home practice.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- Your neurocognitive performance will be measured at the start, after 10 weeks of training, and again at 6 months.

What this trial measures
- Neurocognitive performance -Overall Attention and Executive Function (AEF) Z scoreBaseline, 10 week (post training), 6 month
Performance on neurocognitive composite measure of attention and executive function post intervention vs control training will be assessed with Overall Attention and Executive Function (AEF) domain composite Z Score (calculated as the average of z scores of following tests: Letter Number Sequencing, Auditory Consonant Trigrams, Digit Vigilance, Trails B, DKEFS Stroop Inhibition, DKEFS Stroop Inhibition-Switching, DKEFS Verbal Fluency Switching, DKEFS Visual Fluency Switching). AEF Z score range is -3 to +3; higher score = better outcome.
