Study Finds First Effective Scalable Intervention for Mild Traumatic Brain Injury
Summary
WASHINGTON, May 20, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- A study run at five military and veterans hospitals has identified the first highly-scalable intervention for addressing cognitive deficits that can occur after mild Traumatic Brain Injury (mTBI). The Department of Defense (DoD) funded the BRAVE Study to determine whether a plasticity-based, computerized, brain-training intervention could be broadly and remotely applied and could produce significant improvements in persistent cognitive deficits across a diverse mTBI population. No computerized cognitive training has previously been shown effective in a Class 1 study (as defined by the American Academy of Neurology). "It provides Class 1 evidence that fills the existing gap for a highly-scalable cognitive intervention in evidence-based clinical programs addressing mTBI. With the release of these results, Posit Science (maker of BrainHQ) has indicated it intends to work with clinicians, payors, and regulators to make this widely available, as quickly as possible.
