Summary of the article
Moderate to severe traumatic brain injury commonly causes disruption in aspects of attention. Therefore, increased awareness of up-to-date evidence regarding attentional impairments is needed to facilitate informed clinical practice. This article aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of specific approaches to improving attentional difficulties, and to consequently provide an update to the INCOG 2014 guidelines for the management of attention in individuals with traumatic brain injury.
Interesting results regarding non pharmacological strategies.
