Abstract:
The study investigated the effectiveness of cognitive rehabilitation therapy on attention,
memory, and language in individuals with traumatic brain injury within the Pakistani
population. A total of 40 participants (aged 18–60 years) were divided into two groups:
20 individuals in the control group and 20 in the intervention group. The intervention
group received 12 weeks of structured therapy sessions designed to improve cognitive
functioning. Pre- and post-assessments were conducted using the Mini-Mental State
Examination and Pakistan Neuropsychological Testing Assessment Battery to evaluate
attention, memory, and language abilities. Paired sample t-test revealed significant
improvements in the intervention group compared to the control group, particularly in
attention, memory, and language domains. Pre- and post-assessment results
demonstrated that cognitive rehabilitation effectively enhanced neurocognitive
functioning in individuals with traumatic brain injury. This research emphasizes the
critical role of cognitive rehabilitation in improving cognitive outcomes for traumatic
brain injury patients and addresses a significant gap in the literature regarding
traumatic brain injury rehabilitation within a Pakistani context. The findings
contribute valuable insights into the development of effective therapeutic strategies
for individuals with traumatic brain injury.
