NCT ID NCT04526639
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether a virtual reality (VR) program could help children who had a traumatic brain injury (TBI) improve their thinking and problem-solving skills. Fourteen children took part in the trial. Researchers measured their executive functions (like memory and attention) using VR tasks and standard tests. The goal was to see if VR-based training could be an effective rehabilitation tool for kids with TBI.
