Virtual Reality vs Traditional Cognitive Training in Patients With Severe Acquired Brain Injury
Sponsor: Anna Estraneo
Summary
Considerable evidence exists for using Virtual Reality (VR) for rehabilitation of acquired brain injury (ABI), with a particular focus on stroke. However, to date very little evidence has been collected in patients with ABI with different aetiologies (i.e., traumatic or anoxic brain injury) and level of severity (i.e., severe, sABI). The present multicentre study aims to overcome current literature issues as heterogeneity of populations and outcomes, small sample sizes and a lack of randomized controlled trials, which can affect the level of evidence and generalizability of results, to determine the effectiveness of a non immersive VR-based rehabilitation versus traditional cognitive training (TCT).

Interventions
Khymeia®-Virtual Reality rehabilitation System (VRRS EVO SYSTEM or COMPACT VRRS ENGINE)
fully immersive VR software created by clinicians and experts specialized in cognitive rehabilitation. Khymeia Devices are Medical Class 1 devices according to MDR. VRRS systems consist of a central process unit, complete with a capacitive touch screen LCD monitor.
Traditional cognitive training (TCT)
face-to-face approach between the therapist and the patient using paper and pencil tools and other traditional materials. The training of the executive abilities is carried out by working on categorization, planning, association processes, analogical reasoning, problem solving and coping strategies to simulate problematic situations, tailored on patients' deficits
