New Skills-Focused therapy aims to ease Veterans' concussion symptoms
NCT ID NCT05837676
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests a short behavioral program called PST-Concussion for Veterans who have had a mild traumatic brain injury (concussion) and still feel distressed or have trouble thinking clearly. The program teaches problem-solving skills, goal-setting, and coping strategies in a few sessions. Researchers want to see if it reduces psychological distress and improves daily function better than usual care alone.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Problem-Solving Training for Concussion (PST-Concussion) — a brief behavioral intervention combining problem-solving skills, education, and goal-setting.
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a simple, short-term therapy to help Veterans with concussion feel less distressed and function better in daily life.
What could go wrong
This is a relatively small, early-stage study (134 participants) comparing PST-Concussion to usual care, so results may not apply broadly. The intervention is behavioral, not a drug, so benefits may be modest.
