Treating Emotional Processing Impairments in Individuals With TBI

Status unconfirmed · Not applicable · Has a placebo group

Conditions studied: Traumatic Brain Injury

In brief

The current project will examine the impact of an emotional processing intervention on emotional processing abilities in a sample of 50 persons with moderate to severe TBI. Outcome will be assessed across 3 domains. We will document changes resulting from treatment: (1) in emotional processing tasks (2) in other areas of function including QOL, social functioning, mood and cognition that are also likely to be impacted (3) in brain structure and function. The examination of efficacy in the above three areas will further our knowledge of emotional processing deficits in TBI and more importantly, identify an effective means of treating such deficits.
