Symptom-Targeted Approach to Rehabilitation for Concussion (STAR-C): RCT of In-person vs Telehealth vs Wait List Control
Objectives: STAR-C, delivered in-person and via telehealth, will be effective in decreasing everyday cognitive complaints among patients with a history of mTBI. Effectiveness will be moderated by patient characteristics. Stakeholder feedback will yield a process map for broad implementation of STAR-C in varied clinical environments.
• mTBI defined per the VA/DoD Clinical Practice Guideline for the Management of Concussion-Mild Traumatic Brain Injury sustained in any context (deployment related or non-deployment-related) and at any time longer than 3 months previously.
• a score of 2, 3, or 4 on any of the four Cognitive items on the NSI, to include participants who have cognitive complaints.
• a score on the Word Reading Subtest of the Wide Range Achievement Test of a sixth-grade reading level or higher, to ensure participants can read study materials.
