Can a digital battery sharpen detection of brain injury aftermath?
NCT ID NCT06830291
First seen Aug 28, 2026 · Last updated Aug 28, 2026
Summary
This study tests a digital tool called Neuralix, designed to assess memory and thinking skills in adults who have had moderate to severe head trauma. Researchers will check how well the battery detects cognitive issues in patients and compare results with healthy volunteers to set standard scores. The goal is to provide a more accurate and reliable way to evaluate brain function after injury.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Neuralix digital cognitive assessment battery
- What this could lead to
- If validated, this digital tool could give clinicians a more accurate way to detect and track cognitive problems after head trauma, improving patient care.
- What could go wrong
- This is a validation study, not a treatment trial, so it won't directly change outcomes. The battery may still miss some cases or be less accurate in real-world settings.

Inclusion Criteria: * French-speaking subject aged 18 to 65 years old * Signed consent to participate * History of head trauma of moderate to severe intensity, i.e. having presented the high risk criteria of the study by Masters et al. (1987) at the time of the head trauma, and occurred a maximum of 5 years after inclusion in the VANOLIX study Exclusion Criteria: * Visual or hearing or motor deficit disrupting the taking of cognitive tests * Subject with insufficient knowledge of counting (up to 25), the alphabet, reading, or French writing * Subject with a severe intellectual disability * Subject with past psychiatric or behavioral disorders requiring a stay \>2 days in a specialized environment or requiring current treatment other than a single anxiolytic * Current treatment with antidepressant * Current treatment with antipsychotic or multiple anxiolytics * Single anxiolytic treatment initiated or increased for less than 1 month or current antiepileptic treatment * Subject with a neurological condition or a history leading to cerebral dysfunction likely to interfere with the cognitive assessment
