What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
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
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 Results may not be published yet.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.

Summary

This study tests two remote brain-training programs for Veterans who have had a traumatic brain injury (TBI) and struggle with focus, memory, or staying on track. About 120 Veterans will use either BrainStrong-GSR or BrainStrong-OPT via tele-rehabilitation and digital apps. The goal is to see if these programs help improve cognitive skills needed for work, school, and daily life.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
behavioral training programs (BrainStrong-GSR and BrainStrong-OPT)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could provide effective, accessible brain-training options for Veterans with TBI to improve daily functioning.
What could go wrong
This is an early-stage study with only 120 participants, and the benefits may not apply to all Veterans. The training requires significant time and effort.
