Emotional Awareness Therapy Study (TREAT)

29. maj 2026 opdateret af: Hackensack Meridian Health

A Feasibility Study Exploring Emotional Health Training After Moderate to Severe Traumatic Brain Injury

The purpose of this study is to learn about the potential benefits of two different training programs in helping improve emotional health and well-being in people who have had a traumatic brain injury.

Participants will be assigned to one of two programs based on the time since their injury. One of the programs will teach participants how to recognize and label emotions; the other will teach healthy ways of living. Participants may improve their emotional well-being and contribute to the knowledge needed to achieve better emotional health outcomes for people with TBI.

For eligible participants, the study includes 4 assessments. Assessments may take 30-60 minutes and will be done using secure videoconferencing, phone calls, and/or electronic surveys. The first assessment will ask questions about demographics, the participant's brain injury, and some medical history. All assessments will include questions about emotions, emotional awareness, resilience, loneliness, and how participants manage emotions, in addition to broader wellness questions and questions about how participants interact with others.

Regardless of the program, the training includes 8 one-on-one sessions with a trained staff member over the course of about 1 month. Each session will last approximately 60-90 minutes. These sessions will start shortly after completing the first assessment. Preferably, participants will complete 1-2 training sessions a week, depending on availability and preference. These sessions will include education, discussion, and practice exercises.

After the program is finished, participants will be asked to complete the same surveys completed at baseline for three follow-up time points (immediately following the program, 3 months after the program, and 6 months after). Total participation in the study will last approximately 8 months.

Våben og indgreb

Deltagergruppe / Arm
Intervention / Behandling
Eksperimentel: TREAT-A
Eight lessons delivered by a trained team member (interventionist) to the participant over ~4 weeks. It involves psycho-educational lessons and skill-building exercises to achieve the following objectives based on the characteristics of alexithymia.: 1) learn benefits of emotional awareness; 2) improve threshold for earlier detection of emotional responses; 3) label and differentiate emotions; 4) experience range of emotions; and 5) distinguish emotions from thoughts, actions and sensations.
The TREAT-A program will teach participants how to recognize, label, and differentiate their emotions. The program will cover ways to reduce feeling "confused" or numb, and decrease the feelings of anger, stress and being overwhelmed.
Aktiv komparator: TREAT-B
Provides education on TBI and overall brain health through instructional sessions, discussion, and structured tasks geared towards living healthy and improving general well-being.
The TREAT-B program will teach participants strategies to improve their overall brain health and functioning. It will also teach participants how to develop and work towards individualized short-term and long-term goals aimed at improving their quality of life.
