NCT03479970

Brief Summary

In the present study the investigators aim to analyze the performance in a battery of social cognition tests of subjects with traumatic brain injury. On the other hand, the effectiveness of a computerized rehabilitation program designed to improve these deficits will be tested, as well as the relationship between social cognition and executive functioning.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (5)

  • International Affect Picture System (IAPS)

    Designed to provide a standardized set of pictures for studying emotion and attention. This subtest has a puntuation range from 0 to 25, where higher values are considered to be a better outcome.

    1 day

  • Pictures of facial Affect (POFA)

    It is an assessment test of the ability to identify basic emotions in facial. This subtest has a puntuation range from 0 to 65, where higher values are considered to be a better outcome. expressions

    1 day

  • The Moving Shapes Paradigm

    Evaluation of the interaction between two triangles based on low level. This subtest has a puntuation range from 0 to 12, where higher values are considered to be a better outcome. inferences

    1 day

  • Reading The Mind in the Eyes Test (RMET)

    Advanced test of theory of mind. The subject must identify emotions in the eyes of photographed people. This subtest has a puntuation range from 0 to 36, where higher values are considered to be a better outcome.

    1 day

  • Social Decision Making Task The Social Decision Making Task (SDMT)

    Pseudo online test of catch and throw where the participant is required to use social feedback.

    1 day

Secondary Outcomes (12)

  • Conners Continuous Performance Test (CPT-II)

    1 day

  • Rey Auditory Verbal Learning Test (RAVLT)

Study Arms (2)

GNPT + Social Cognition

EXPERIMENTAL

Experimental Group: will undertake a rehabilitation treatment integrated by a set of tasks aimed at working attention, memory and executive functions together with a computerized treatment for the rehabilitation of the Social Cognition. The treatment will be carried out through the cognitive telerehabilitation platform Guttmann, NeuroPersonalTrainer® (GNPT). The treatment will consist of the carrying out of 24 treatment sessions

Other: GNPT+ Social Cognition

GNPT (only N-SC measures)

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Control Group: will only conduct a cognitive rehabilitation treatment through the cognitive telerehabilitation platform Guttmann, NeuroPersonalTrainer® (GNPT) focused on attention, memory and executive functions.

Other: GNPT

Interventions

Aplication of a computer based treatment focused on attention, memory, executive functions and social cognition.

GNPT + Social Cognition
GNPTOTHER

It's a computeritzed program of cognitive telerehabilitation

GNPT (only N-SC measures)

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years+
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Age at the time of the TBI equal to or greater than 18 years.
  • Evolution time between the TBI and the beginning of the participation in the study less than 6 months.
  • Find out from the Post-Traumatic Amnesia Phase, evaluated through the Galveston Orientation and Amnesia Test (GOAT) scale: it is considered that the patient is out of PTA if he obtains scores greater than 75 in two consecutive administrations.
  • Cognitive impairment through the neuropsychological scan battery that is administered by clinical protocol.

You may not qualify if:

  • Alteration of the language that compromises the complete application of the neuropsychological exploration battery.
  • Psychiatric history or neurological involvement prior to TBI.
