Study Summary
The majority of trauma survivors experience prolonged and profound physical and psychosocial disability, with up to 50% unable to return to productive employment. The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) estimates that more than 1 million of these individuals experience a mild traumatic brain injury (TBI) and cost the United States nearly $17 billion each year. Symptoms related to mild TBI result in cognitive, functional, and emotional impairments that can lead to vocational and social disability. Long-term cognitive deficits include problems with memory and attention, and most importantly executive functioning. Depressive and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms are extremely common in individuals with cognitive impairment, occurring in up to 50% and 33% of individuals, respectively. The investigators have found that 55% of trauma patients with mild TBI have profound cognitive impairments in executive functioning at one-year survival. Executive functioning is defined as "a cognitive domain that controls the execution of complex activities of daily living essential for purposeful, goal directed behaviors." Deficits in executive functioning are the most disabling of all cognitive impairments and affect a person's ability to manage effectively in one's personal and professional life. Current literature shows that deficits in executive functioning contribute to reduced quality of life, difficulty in returning to work, and persistent psychological distress in various medical and surgical populations. Cognitive rehabilitation has proven effective for decreasing persistent cognitive impairment and functional disability in patients with TBI. The overall goal of cognitive rehabilitation is not only to improve a person's ability to process and interpret information but to increase self-confidence and self-efficacy for coping with emotional distress. Despite evidence supporting the use of cognitive rehabilitation, few studies have systematically addressed cognitive tre
