Brain training after injury: who benefits most?

NCT ID NCT06130735

What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing This study
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study looks at whether intensive computer-based brain exercises can improve memory, attention, and problem-solving in people who have had a brain injury. Thirty adults aged 25-65 with mild cognitive problems will train on a computer for 45-60 minutes a day, five days a week, for several months. Researchers will measure changes in thinking skills and biological markers to find out who improves the most.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Computerized cognitive training (brain exercises on a computer)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could help identify which people with brain injury benefit most from cognitive training, leading to more personalized rehabilitation.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study with only 30 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The training is intensive and may not work for all types of brain injury.

Study facts

What this study's own registry entry says, in plain language.

Phase

Not a phased trial

Phase numbers describe drug development. The registry uses this when they do not apply, as it does for trials of devices, procedures or behaviour changes, and for observational studies.

Participants

About 30 people

The number the study aims to enrol. It can still change while the study runs.

Started

Oct 2023

Expected to finish

Sep 2026

An estimate. End dates often move.

Lead sponsor

Other sponsor

The registry's catch-all category, for sponsors it does not file as a company, a government agency, or a research network.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.

Ages

25 to 65 years

Sex

Anyone

Healthy volunteers

Not accepted

This study is not open to healthy volunteers. The entry requirements below say who it is open to.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Patient of the Mass General Brigham Health System with primary attention and executive functioning difficulties and/or a diagnosis of mild cognitive disorder or mild neurocognitive disorder (non-amnestic profile), due to an acquired brain injury (ABI) sustained at least 12 months prior to study contact. * Ages 25-65 years old * Proficiency in English * Willing and able to complete all study-related activities for 12 months, including travel to Brigham and Women's Hospital (Boston) for four in-person assessment visits and two serum and saliva sample collections. * Access to a computer with webcam and stable internet. * A reliable study informant who can complete one questionnaire about participant's cognition/daily functioning, at four time points. Exclusion Criteria: * History of alcohol or substance abuse, or dependence, within the past 2 years, as per DSM-5 criteria. * High likelihood of an underlying progressive neurodegenerative disorder. * Evidence of moderate to severe cognitive disorder, based on a score of 21 or less on the Mini-Mental Status Examination (MMSE) (Tombaugh \& McIntyre, 1992). * Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ)-9 (Kroenke et al., 2010) Score ≥ 19, unless deemed by treating provider not to have active depression (e.g., adjustment disorder, grief reaction). * Active psychotic symptoms. * Severe sensory losses such that participants would unlikely be able to participate in the study training, even with substantial accommodations (self-report of extreme difficulty reading ordinary newspaper print or a performance-tested corrected vision test score of worse than 20/30). * Communication difficulties that prevent the participant from effectively participating in this highly interactive study protocol (based on interviewer's rating of a person's ability to be understood and to understand others). * Current participation in a pharmacological, or other interventional research trial. * Life expectancy of \< 2 years.
