About This MTBI - Mild Traumatic Brain Injury Study in San Diego

The proposed study tests the efficacy (Phase II) of 36 or 54 30-minute training sessions of PATH neurotraining followed by digit memory exercises to improve working memory, processing speed and attention in mTBI patients rapidly and effectively to provide clinical testing of a therapeutic training for the remediation of cognitive disorders caused by a concussion. This study will contribute to the fundamental knowledge of how to remediate concussions from a mTBI to enhance the health, lengthen the life and reduce the disabilities that result from a mTBI.

Exclusion Criteria

mTBI occurred less than 3 months earlier \[While post-concussive symptoms (PCS) resolve within days post injury in the majority of individuals with mTBI,127 symptoms can endure 3 months post injury or longer, indicating spontaneous recovery and chronic sequela.128 In the general public, between 8% to 33% of mTBI patients have persistent PCS and long-term cognitive and/or behavioral impairments129 that negatively impact quality of life. In the proposed study, we will try to minimize the confound from the spontaneous recovery by only recruiting chronic mTBI subjects, and not recruiting mTBI subjects with mTBI less than 3 months.\] with no maximum time if still experiencing memory problems which will be measured by the TIPS visual working memory (VWM) scores.
diagnosis of epilepsy or seizure disorder in last 12 months,
diagnosis of moderate depressive disorder or moderate anxiety, having driving limitations in traffic
answers 'Yes' to any of the questions on the Columbia Suicide Severity Rating Scale,
had a stroke or metabolic derangements causing cognitive impairments, i.e. alcohol or substance abuse, And for those chosen to undergo MEG exams:
has extensive metal dental hardware (e.g., braces and large metal dentures; fillings are acceptable) or other metal objects in head, neck, or face areas that cause artifacts in MEG data, and are not removable during pre-processing, and
