Focused acceptance and commitment therapy for spinal cord injury
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial tests a type of talking therapy called Focused Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) for people with spinal cord injuries who are staying in the hospital for rehab. The therapy may help you adjust to life after injury by learning ways to cope with difficult thoughts and feelings.
