Trial Summary

What is the purpose of this trial?

The purpose of the study is to investigate the potential benefits of a psychological therapy, called cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT), for improving emotional well being after acquired brain injury and to demonstrate its efficacy in both under telephone (T-CBT) and face-to-face group (G-CBT) modes of delivery compared to an educational control group.

Eligibility Criteria

This trial is for individuals who have experienced a moderate to severe brain injury and are showing signs of emotional distress like depression or anxiety. They should be able to understand the study and agree to participate, not currently in another similar therapy, and must not have communication issues that would interfere with therapy.

Inclusion Criteria
