Summary

This study compares two methods of training therapists to deliver an online emotion regulation program (Online EmReg) to people with traumatic brain injury (TBI). One group of therapists receives a 3-hour workshop only, while the other gets the workshop plus 3 months of bi-weekly consultation. The goal is to see which training approach helps therapists deliver the program more effectively. The study involves 50 therapists and measures their confidence, skills, and satisfaction with the training.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Online EmReg (a web-based group intervention) and consultation sessions
What this could lead to
If successful, this could identify the best way to train clinicians to help people with TBI better manage their emotions.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage implementation study focused on clinician training, not patient outcomes. The intervention may not improve emotion regulation for all participants.
