Summary

This study tests a virtual cognitive rehabilitation program designed for refugees and asylum seekers who have had a traumatic brain injury (TBI) and struggle with thinking and memory. The program includes 8 virtual sessions led by trained bilingual staff, covering brain injury education and exercises for attention, memory, and relaxation. Researchers want to see if the program is practical, acceptable, and helpful for this group.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Trauma-informed, paraprofessional-delivered virtual cognitive rehabilitation program
What this could lead to
If successful, this could provide a practical, accessible way to help refugees with TBI improve their thinking and memory.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early feasibility study with only 50 participants, so results may not apply widely. The program may not show clear benefits or be difficult to complete virtually.
