Study Summary

This trial will study a new therapy to improve memory problems after a concussion. Participants will receive either the therapy or another intervention. The trial will measure how well the therapy works.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults aged 18-65 who had a concussion 6-24 months ago, meet criteria for Functional Cognitive Disorder, speak English fluently, and have regular internet access. It's not for those with serious conditions like cancer or MS, MRI contraindications, failed validity tests, severe mental illness requiring recent hospitalization, substance abuse disorders, or on memory-impairing meds.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study is testing a new cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) aimed at improving memory after a concussion. Participants will be randomly assigned to either this CBT or an alternative cognitive rehabilitation program to compare effectiveness. The focus is on how feasible the treatment is based on recruitment success and participant adherence.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since the interventions are non-medical therapies (CBT and cognitive rehabilitation), they typically do not have side effects like drugs do. However, participants may experience emotional discomfort discussing their experiences during sessions.
