Summary

This study explores whether two computer-based tasks can measure decision-making fatigue in people who have had a mild to moderate traumatic brain injury (TBI). Researchers will compare results from TBI patients with those from healthy volunteers to see if the tasks are practical and acceptable. The goal is to determine if these tools could be used in future research to better understand and potentially address mental fatigue after brain injury.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Computerized cognitive tasks (COGED and Restless Bandit)
What this could lead to
If feasible, these tasks could provide a new way to measure and understand mental fatigue after brain injury, potentially guiding rehabilitation strategies.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early feasibility study, so it may not confirm the tasks work well or apply to all TBI patients. The tasks may be too demanding or not accurately capture fatigue.
