Interventions

  • BehavioralReality Orientation

    Two matched groups of patients diagnosed with TBI are selected from two university hospitals. In addition to conventional treatment, patients in one group are introduced to a reality- orientation programme consisting of systematic orientation, information, and systematic cooperation with the patient´s relatives.Patients in the other group receive conventional treatment only. All patients are tested on a daily basis in accordance with the RLAS and the GOAT test.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Aug 10, 2010, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
