Computer-based Attention Training in Patients With Acquired Brain Injury

Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Brain Injuries
• Interventions: Behavioral: N-back; Behavioral: Visual Search

• Registration Number: NCT02399293
• Lead Sponsor: University of Aarhus

Brief Summary

Investigates computer based cognitive rehabilitation and training using the N-back task with a Visual Search task as an active control. The overall purpose is to provide (further) evidence about the efficacy (or lack of efficacy) of the N-back task and to find points of convergence and divergence between patients with acquired brain injury and non-impaired subjects.
