No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Patients with working memory deficits due to a moderate to severe head injury will undergo a 5 month protocol including cognitive remediation with numerous exercises, transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), and therapeutic education.

Conditions

  • Head Trauma

Interventions

OTHER

therapeutic education

The themes covered concern head trauma in the chronic phase.

OTHER

tDCS

The constant electric current will be delivered at an intensity of 2 mA for 20 minutes.The anode will be placed opposite the dorsolateral prefrontal area on the right. The cathode (or reference electrode) will be positioned opposite the supraorbital area on the left. This methodology is based on the general directions and results from scientific studies which aimed to improve the efficiency of neural networks engaged in attentional processes and working memory.

OTHER

cognitive remediation

Personalized sessions combining 2 approaches:•Retraining deficit components of working memory.exercise the strengthening of metacognition and the learning of "reorganization-facilitation" strategies. At the end of each exercise, the participant will be asked to analyze their performance and will benefit from feedback from the rehabilitator as well as a discussion on the use of the strategies. Finally, all of the proposed tasks will be made up of several levels of complexity; moving to a more complex stage will require more than 90% success in the exercise.•More ecological exercises will also be carried out in order to get as close as possible to the difficulties encountered by the patient on a daily basis. The examiner will guide the rehabilitation and propose tasks imitating his daily life.
