Do memory drills help veterans remember things?
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests if doing short memory drills can help veterans with brain injuries or PTSD improve their ability to remember to do tasks. You'll practice on a tablet or computer and see if your memory gets better.

This study tests a computer-based memory training program for people with PTSD. It aims to see if this training can help reduce PTSD symptoms by improving how your brain processes memories. The study involves 8 remote sessions over 4 weeks and two MRI scans to look at brain changes.
This study looks at whether a cognitive training program you’ve already completed can keep helping over time, and whether it can be improved with “booster” sessions. It may help older veterans maintain thinking and daily functioning skills after earlier training.
This study tests a computer-based brain training program that may help improve memory and thinking skills in people who have had a mild traumatic brain injury or concussion. The training involves watching moving stripes on a screen and using arrow keys to respond, which is designed to retrain brain pathways.
This trial tests an intensive skills-training program to help with thinking and memory problems after a mild-to-moderate traumatic brain injury (TBI). It’s designed for veterans who are at least 6 months past the injury and still notice cognitive symptoms that affect daily goals like work or school.
This trial is testing a type of therapy called Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) for PTSD, along with memory exercises to help enhance the therapy's effects. It is for veterans who have PTSD and want to see if adding memory training can improve their treatment.
This study compares two ways of delivering a memory and thinking skills program to veterans with both mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The goal is to see if doing the training online is as effective as doing it in person, which could make it easier for more veterans to get help.
