Brief Summary
|
Participants will be divided randomly into 2 groups. The control group will not be receiving the computerized intervention whereas the experimental group will be receiving the computerized intervention program. The study population will consist of patients with brain tumours who have completed the medical treatment at Tata Memorial Centre. The Control group will receive Non-Computerized Interventions for a duration of 45 minutes/session, 3 sessions/week for 12 weeks which will include 1) Attention process Training including Letter Cancellation and Sorting Task.2) Restorative Approaches for Memory which will include 5-digit recall and Image recall 3) Problem Solving Training through the use of 10-piece non-computerized picture puzzle. This group will also receive Deep Breathing Exercises, Conditioning Exercises and Motor Retraining. The Experimental Group will receive intervention for a duration of 45 + 30 minutes which will include Cognitive Interventions through Non-Computerized Intervention 1) Attention process Training including Letter Cancellation and Sorting Task.2) Restorative Approaches for Memory which will include 5-digit recall and Image recall 3) Problem Solving Training through the use of 10-piece picture puzzle. This group will also receive Deep Breathing Exercises, Conditioning Exercises and Motor Retraining. In addition, the experimental group will receive a 12-week cognitive intervention training program will involve the use of Cognifit which consists of cognitive facilitation games which are directed at Attention, Memory, Processing Speed and Executive Functions administered over three sessions per week where each session is of 30-minute duration. Evaluation of outcomes will be assessed at first visit and at end of every 4th week. Mean scores, percentages of cognitively impaired individuals will be compared between the groups. In addition, a feasibility form will be administered to obtain the feedback of the patient and caregiver users on the convenience of use of the app-based intervention program Each participant is expected to available at the Occupational Therapy Outpatient Department for 3 sessions per week for 12 weeks. If you are in the control group, each session will last for about 45 minutes. If you are in the experimental group, each session would be for a duration of 45 and 30 minutes totaling to 1 hour 15 min. |
