Pacing and Planning App for Traumatic Brain Injury
Trial Summary
What is the purpose of this trial?
This trial tests the MyBrainPacer™ app, which helps people with post-concussion syndrome manage their daily activities using a point system. The app assigns points to activities based on how much energy they require and how severe the symptoms they might trigger. This helps users avoid overexertion and manage their symptoms more effectively.
Will I have to stop taking my current medications?

How is the Parkwood Pacing and Planning™ App treatment different from other treatments for traumatic brain injury?
The Parkwood Pacing and Planning™ App is unique because it is a mobile health application specifically designed to help individuals with traumatic brain injury manage their symptoms through pacing and planning strategies, which are not commonly addressed by other treatments. This app provides a self-management tool that enhances access to rehabilitation and supports users in organizing their daily activities, which is different from traditional therapies that may not focus on these aspects.124510
