Study on concussions and brain training in older adults
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study looks at how repeated concussions affect the brain as we age. It tests a computer-based brain training program and uses MRI scans to see if training can help improve thinking and memory.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 60 years old or older.
- You have had at least one concussion, with the most recent one happening a year ago or more.
- You do not have a diagnosed neurological disorder (like Alzheimer's or Parkinson's).
- You have no history of severe psychiatric disorders (like schizophrenia).
- You do not have vision problems that would prevent using a brain training tool (NeuroTracker).
- You have no metal implants or other reasons that would make an MRI unsafe.

This study tests two different types of cognitive rehabilitation (education and problem-solving strategies) delivered via video appointments. It may help people with ongoing thinking and memory problems after a mild brain injury.
This study compares different types of memory and thinking exercises in younger and older healthy adults. It tests whether a specific computer-based training program can improve mental abilities like attention and problem-solving.
This trial studies whether a computer-based brain training program can help thinking skills in older adults. It is designed for people who are generally healthy and have not received similar training before.
This trial tests a memory rehabilitation program for people who have had a concussion and still have memory problems. It uses a computer, tablet, or smartphone to help improve memory.
This study tests if a wearable brain stimulation device (tDCS) combined with computer-based training can improve attention and concentration in older veterans with a history of mild brain injury. It involves several sessions from home using a headset and computer.
This study tests a computer-based brain-training program designed to improve memory and thinking skills in older adults with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). It aims to see if these exercises can help keep the brain healthy and slow down memory decline.
