REhabilitation of MEMory Symptoms After BRain Concussion
Canada184 participantsStarted 2025-07-02
Plain-language summary
Persistent memory symptoms after concussion are common, and likely perpetuated by unhelpful illness beliefs and coping behaviors. Results from a pilot study suggested that traditional cognitive rehabilitation and a novel cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) protocol were both associated with improvements in subjective memory functioning. The present study will more definitively compare the effectiveness of these interventions for improving subjective memory functioning after concussion.

Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Since this trial focuses on memory rehabilitation after concussion, would this type of memory-focused program be appropriate for the specific memory problems I'm experiencing, or are my symptoms better addressed through a different approach first?
2The trial is measuring something called the Multifactorial Memory Questionnaire-Satisfaction scale — can you help me understand what that actually measures, and whether how satisfied someone feels about their memory is a meaningful way to track my own recovery?
3This study is listed as Phase NA, which typically means it's not testing a drug but rather a therapy or rehabilitation program — can you explain what the intervention actually involves, how often I'd need to participate, and whether that fits realistically into my current schedule?
4Since mild traumatic brain injury recovery can vary a lot from person to person, how would you know if I was improving enough through this trial's program, or whether I should switch to a different treatment approach?
5Are there standard memory rehabilitation options already available to me outside of this trial that I should consider first, or would participating in this study give me access to something I couldn't otherwise get?

Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
