Study Summary

This trial will test whether VR brain training can help improve cognitive function in healthy people and those with TBI.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for adults over 18 with good hearing and vision, who don't play action or VR video games. It includes healthy young adults, older adults without neurological issues, and college athletes recently diagnosed with mild traumatic brain injury (concussion).Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study compares the effectiveness of brain training exercises when done in Virtual Reality versus on a computer screen. It aims to see if VR can enhance cognitive rehabilitation after a traumatic brain injury.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Potential side effects may include dizziness, nausea, eye strain or headaches due to virtual reality exposure; however, these are generally mild and temporary.

Frequently Asked Questions

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

Is this medical trial actively seeking participants?

"According to clinicaltrials.gov, the enrollment stage of this medical trial is presently underway. The original posting was on June 27th 2018 and it has been recently modified as of May 4th 2022."

Answered by AI

Does this experiment accommodate adults aged 55 or above?

"The requirements for participation in this research project stipulate that potential participants should be between 18 and 75 years old. There are 76 studies conducted on minors while 234 trials were carried out with senior citizens as the primary focus."

Answered by AI

How many individuals will be participating in this clinical experiment?

"Afirmative. Records on clinicaltrials.gov indicate that the trial, which was initially made available to potential enrollees 27 June 2018, is presently recruiting patients. Eighty individuals are expected to participate across one site."

Answered by AI

Who is the ideal participant for this research endeavor?

"This clinical trial is recruiting 80 individuals from the age range of 18-75 who have sustained a mild traumatic brain injury (mtbi). In addition, prospective participants must not possess any neurological or vascular disorders/injuries, be able to provide consent for their participation in this study, have normal vision and hearing acuity, abstain from playing both action video games and virtual reality games. These subjects will then be divided into four groups: a Control Group training in VR; a Control Groups training on 2D displays; an Older Adult Group without dementia receiving instruction via VR; and lastly, College Athletes with mtbis using VR as part"
