VR Cognitive Rehabiliation for Pediatric TBI

Completed · Not applicable · Has a placebo group

Conditions studied: TBI (Traumatic Brain Injury)

In brief

Childhood traumatic brain injury (TBI) poses significant impairment in children's executive functions (EFs) for moderate to severe injuries, yet interventions specifically designed for children's EF rehabilitation post-TBI and rigorous clinical trials to establish the efficacy of such interventions remain unavailable. In this study, the investigators will conduct a randomized clinical trial to evaluate the efficacy of a novel virtual reality (VR)-based training program for EF rehabilitation for childhood TBI.
