ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking to see if a special cognitive training program can help improve how quickly people with recent spinal cord injuries (SCI) can process information. The study is specifically focused on individuals who are about six months post-injury and are between the ages of 18 to 59. It aims to help those who may be experiencing difficulties with thinking and processing speed following their injury.

If you or someone you know has had a recent traumatic spinal cord injury and fits the age criteria, you may be eligible to participate. Participants in this study can expect to engage in activities designed to boost their cognitive skills. It's important to note that those with other major neurological issues, psychiatric conditions, or significant vision problems will not be able to join. The trial is currently recruiting participants, and it offers an opportunity to contribute to research that could help improve the lives of others facing similar challenges.
