ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is exploring whether a special cognitive training program can help improve the speed at which people with recent spinal cord injuries (SCI) process information. The goal is to see if this training can make everyday tasks easier for individuals who have experienced a traumatic SCI within the last six months.

To participate in the study, individuals need to be between 18 and 65 years old and must have suffered a recent traumatic spinal cord injury. It’s important that they do not have other significant neurological issues, psychiatric conditions, or serious vision problems. If eligible, participants can expect to engage in cognitive training exercises designed to enhance their processing speed, which could help them in their daily lives. The study is currently looking for volunteers to join, and contributions from participants may help improve care for others with similar injuries in the future.
