Trial Outcomes & Findings for PC-Based Cognitive Rehabilitation for Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) (NCT NCT00927576)

NCT ID: NCT00927576

Last Updated: 2015-07-31

Results Overview

Subjects were assessed on a set of cognitive tests. Here we describe the results on the simple reaction time test in which subjects respond as rapidly as possible to the computer-controlled occurrence of a visual stimulus by pressing a mouse button. Two control groups were used. One large control group underwent a single test to provide data from subjects with a broad range of age and education. The other, smaller, control group underwent three tests at weekly intervals to evaluate the test-retest reliability of the measure.

Measure
Control Subjects
Control subjects = 237. These subjects underwent extensive testing with computerized neuropsychological tests including digit span testing, spatial span testing, simple reaction time testing, choice reaction time testing, finger tapping, verbal fluency, design fluency, verbal list learning, questionnaire completion, and the trail making test.
TBI Patients
TBI patients N = 28. These patients underwent extensive testing with computerized neuropsychological tests including digit span testing, spatial span testing, simple reaction time testing, choice reaction time testing, finger tapping, verbal fluency, design fluency, verbal list learning, questionnaire completion, and the trail making test.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Subjects were tested in a single 2-hr session.

Population: Data from two TBI patients were excluded due to suspected suboptimal effort.

Subjects were assessed on a set of cognitive tests. Here we describe the results on the simple reaction time test in which subjects respond as rapidly as possible to the computer-controlled occurrence of a visual stimulus by pressing a mouse button. Two control groups were used. One large control group underwent a single test to provide data from subjects with a broad range of age and education. The other, smaller, control group underwent three tests at weekly intervals to evaluate the test-retest reliability of the measure.
