Summary

"This trial aims to see if a brain training program can help people with recent spinal cord injuries improve how quickly they process information."

Who is the study for?
This trial is for individuals aged 18-59 who have recently experienced a traumatic spinal cord injury, approximately within the last 6 months. It's designed to help those facing cognitive impairments due to their injury.
What is being tested?
The study is testing if game-like computerized activities can speed up how fast patients with acute spinal cord injuries process information. Some participants will use these activities while others will receive a placebo as a comparison.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves cognitive training programs, there may not be direct physical side effects like with medication; however, fatigue or frustration could occur from the mental effort required.
