EEG Markers of Training-Induced Improvements in Cognitive Functioning
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating State regulation skill training and Treatment-as-usual for TBI (Traumatic Brain Injury) and 4 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 18 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Some of the most common, persistent, and disabling consequences of traumatic brain injury affect an individual's ability to achieve personal goals. Interventions that strengthen abilities such as being able to concentrate, remember, stay calm and overcome challenges, could have far reaching benefits for Veterans. One challenge in rehabilitation is that response to training can be highly variable, and a better understanding of the neural bases for this variability could inform care. This pilot project will test the clinical behavioral effects of a cognitive skill training intervention and explore to what extent changes in markers of the brain's electrical activity (using the non-invasive technique of electroencephalograms, EEG) can explain differences in responses to skill training.
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
Participants complete seven supervised training sessions. Training sessions last 2 hours, and participants are requested to complete approximately 2.5 hours of additional skill practice over the course of each week outside of session (total \~4.5 hours per week).
Participants receive clinical care as usual over a matched time period.
