Cognitive Symptom Management and Rehabilitation Therapy (CogSMART) for Veterans with traumatic brain injury: Pilot randomized controlled trial
Elizabeth W. Twamley, PhD, et al.
Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) can result in cognitive
impairments and postconcussive symptoms
that limit functional recovery, including return to
work, for Veterans. We developed and evaluated a
12-week intervention (Cognitive Symptom Management
and Rehabilitation Therapy [CogSMART]) in
the context of a supported employment program to help Veterans with mild to moderate TBI return to
the workforce. CogSMART sessions included education
regarding TBI; strategies to improve sleep,
fatigue, headaches, and tension; and compensatory
cognitive strategies. Results suggested that adding
CogSMART to supported employment can improve
postconcussive symptoms and prospective memory
performance and may also improve psychiatric symptoms
and ability to return to work.
