No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Persistent memory symptoms after concussion are common, and likely perpetuated by unhelpful illness beliefs and coping behaviors. Results from a pilot study suggested that traditional cognitive rehabilitation and a novel cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) protocol were both associated with improvements in subjective memory functioning. The present study will more definitively compare the effectiveness of these interventions for improving subjective memory functioning after concussion.

Conditions

  • Concussion, Brain
  • Mild Traumatic Brain Injury

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Cognitive behavioral therapy

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is delivered by a psychologist over 10 individual (1:1) manualized videoconference sessions. The goal of this therapy is for participants to use their memory more normally (i.e., reduce avoidance and safety behaviors) and view memory lapses as less threatening.

BEHAVIORAL

Cognitive rehabilitation

Cognitive compensatory strategy training (CCST), a traditional cognitive rehabilitation intervention, is delivered by a Occupational Therapist over 10 individual (1:1) manualized videoconference sessions. Participants optimize their use of current compensatory strategies and/or learn new ones suited to their needs and lifestyle. The goal is to minimize memory lapses in daily life.
