Summary

This study tests a new rehab program called STAR-C for people with lasting cognitive issues after a mild traumatic brain injury (concussion). It compares three groups: in-person therapy, online therapy via telehealth, and a waitlist that gets no treatment. The goal is to see if STAR-C reduces everyday thinking and memory problems, and whether online delivery works as well as in-person sessions. About 222 adults with a concussion at least three months ago will take part.
