Can brain training help TBI patients remember to remember?

NCT ID NCT04065477

First seen Aug 11, 2026 · Last updated Aug 12, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tests a computer-based cognitive rehabilitation program designed to improve thinking skills, particularly time-based prospective memory—remembering to do things at a specific time—in people who have had a moderate-to-severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) at least a year ago. Participants will complete up to 32 sessions over 16 weeks, and researchers will measure how well they tolerate the program, how many sessions they attend, and any changes in memory and strategic thinking. The goal is to see if this approach is feasible and worth studying further.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
computer-based cognitive rehabilitation (CBCR)
What this could lead to
If this approach works, it could offer a structured, at-home method to help people with traumatic brain injury improve memory and thinking skills.
What could go wrong
This is a small feasibility study, so results may not apply broadly. The intervention may be difficult to tolerate or may not produce meaningful cognitive gains.
