Summary

This trial looks at using VR to help people with TBI learn job skills and reintegrate into the workplace.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for English-speaking adults aged 18-65 with moderate to severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) who are at least one year post-injury. It's not suitable for those with significant psychiatric illnesses, current steroid or benzodiazepine use, or a history of neurological conditions like multiple sclerosis, stroke, seizures, or brain tumors.

What is being tested?

The study is testing the 'Wonderworks' virtual reality program against the 'Virtual Reality Job Interview Training' to see which helps people with TBI get back into work more effectively. Participants will experience job interview simulations in VR environments.

What are the potential side effects?

While not explicitly stated, potential side effects may include discomfort from wearing VR headsets such as eye strain, dizziness or nausea. Emotional responses to simulated interviews could also occur.
