First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether community health workers can help caregivers of people with traumatic brain injury (TBI) during the move from rehab to home. About 126 adult caregivers will get either standard support or extra help from a health worker starting before discharge. The goal is to see if caregivers feel more prepared and less stressed.

community health worker support
What this could lead to
If it works, this could show that community health workers improve caregiver confidence and reduce stress during the transition from rehab to home.
What could go wrong
This is a very early phase trial with only 126 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. It focuses on caregiver support, not directly on patient recovery.
