Combined Metacognitive Training

for mTBI/PTSD

This trial will test a new treatment combining goal management and computer-based attention training for Veterans with mild brain injuries and PTSD. The goal is to improve their focus, problem-solving skills, and daily functioning. The study will compare in-person and telehealth delivery methods. Goal Management Training (GMT) has been previously tested for improving cognitive functioning in individuals with PTSD.

Emotion & Attention Training

for TBI and PTSD

Poor emotion recognition has been associated with poor quality of interpersonal relationships, loss of employment, behavioral problems, reduced social reintegration, social isolation and even suicide. Deficits in emotion recognition are common in traumatic brain injury (TBI) and in post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) but these deficits have not been well studied in Veterans with both mild TBI (mTBI) and PTSD. Currently there are no interventions for emotion recognition in Veterans with mTBI and PTSD, and interventions for severe TBI have lacked training of both facial and vocal emotion recognition. In a preliminary study of an innovative combination of facial and vocal modalities, a multimodal affect recognition training (MMART) showed promise but lacked attention training that is an essential component in recognizing emotions in our daily lives. Given the need to improve relationships and productivity in Veterans with mTBI and PTSD, a study is needed to determine the effectiveness of a MMART combined with attention training.
