Rehabilitation of Executive Functioning in Veterans With PTSD and Mild TBI
NCT01921179 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
One of the most pressing concerns within the VA currently is the provision of interventions that address the cognitive as well as emotional problems faced by Veterans with concurrent mild TBI and PTSD. One purpose of this study is to learn more about how PTSD and mild brain injury influences how people think, act, and feel. This may include how people pay attention, keep information in memory, organize plans for achieving important goals, and manage stress. Another purpose of this research is to learn more about the effects of cognitive training on the thinking, behavior, and emotions of individuals with PTSD and mild brain injury - both in the short- and long-term. With this research, the investigators hope to better understand and treat cognitive and emotional difficulties that can occur due to PTSD and mild brain injury.

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT01921179
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT01921179 describes a study currently listed as completed. It is categorized as NA, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 76 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is VA Office of Research and Development, which has 1,863 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 2 conditions, with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 2 interventions — of which GOALS (Goal-Oriented Attentional Regulation) is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.
Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT01921179 reports 2 study locations spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include California. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll.
