Online wellness program aims to boost resilience after brain injury
NCT ID NCT06148324
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests an 8-week online program called MENTOR that teaches mindfulness, exercise, and nutrition to people who had a traumatic brain injury at least a year ago. Researchers want to see if it improves emotional health, physical activity, and overall well-being. The trial involves 138 participants, some starting the program right away and others after a delay.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- MENTOR Program (online wellness program with modules on exercise, nutrition, mindfulness, and more)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this program could offer a practical, home-based way to boost resilience, mindfulness, and quality of life for people recovering from traumatic brain injury.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-stage trial with only 138 participants, and it measures self-reported outcomes, which may not reflect lasting or objective improvements. The program is time-intensive (40 hours over 8 weeks), so not everyone may stick with it.
