Brain game boosts memory after injury?
NCT ID NCT06774287
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a new memory training program for people who have memory problems after a brain injury (like a stroke or head injury). Six participants either received standard treatment or a shorter program that included a special memory game to practice at home. The goal was to see if the game-based training could reduce everyday memory complaints and help people use memory strategies in daily life.

Inclusion criteria: * presence of subjective memory complaints. Memory complaints will be operationalized as ≥1 standard deviation on the total score of the EMQ-R questionnaire in comparison with the healthy control norm. * presence of mild to moderate objective memory deficits, objectified with neuropsychological assessment for clinical purposes. Mild to moderate memory deficits will be operationalized as test score ≥1 standard deviation (SD) and \<2 SD in comparison to the normative mean on at least two separate memory measures and no more than one measure ≥ 2SD. For each task the norm data that is described in the test manual will be used. * Age: 18-75 years * Non-progressive acquired brain injury * Minimal time post-onset of 3 months * Outpatient rehabilitation * Living independently at home * Premorbid functioning: score 4 on the Verhage scale Exclusion criteria: * Severe memory deficits * Inability to speak and/or understand the Dutch language * Severe disorders in executive functioning * Severe psychiatric problems * Neurodegenerative disorders * Substance abuse * Aphasia * Neglect * No access to a smartphone and a tablet/laptop with internet connection * Unable to look at a computer screen for 15 minutes * Unable to operate a keyboard or computer mouse. * No informed consent
