A Health Game Intervention for Cancer and Post-ICU Patients Suffering From Acute Cognitive Impairment
Sponsor: University of Cincinnati
Summary
Millions of patients each year suffer from acute cognitive impairment caused by traumatic brain injury, stroke, Parkinson's disease, etc. Despite increasing incidences and morbidity, effective pharmacological interventions continue to show a lack of improvement for brain cancer patients. Studies thus far have shown that non-pharmacological interventions have contributed to early success in addressing some forms of cognitive impairment for patients with cognitive dysfunction. We have built a phase-one fully functioning game Hometown Bound that offers cognitive challenges to patients. The aim of this study is to observe for measured improvement of cognitive function among brain cancer patients, which will be validated by the four cognitive scales, measuring efficacy. The first three scales measure patient baseline impairment before and after game play.
