The authors evaluated changes associated with a 3-week interdisciplinary intensive outpatient program that delivers integrated neuropsychiatric rehabilitation for veterans and first responders with persistent postconcussive and co-occurring symptoms after remote traumatic brain injury.
No actionable change for audiologists; this study addresses neuropsychiatric rehabilitation after TBI and has no direct clinical implication for hearing care practice, though audiologists working in neurorehabilitation settings may note the multidisciplinary model.
TBI is a known risk factor for auditory and vestibular dysfunction, and interdisciplinary treatment models that address persistent neuropsychiatric symptoms may indirectly inform how audiology is integrated into TBI rehabilitation teams.
- 01Study evaluated a 3-week intensive outpatient program for persistent neuropsychiatric symptoms post-TBI.
- 02Interdisciplinary team approach was the core intervention.
- 03Published in the Journal of Neuropsychiatry and Clinical Neurosciences.
- 04Focus is on patients with 'remote' TBI (injury occurred in the past, not acute).
- 05Indirect relevance to audiology through TBI-associated hearing and vestibular sequelae.
A 3-week interdisciplinary intensive outpatient program can address persistent neuropsychiatric symptoms following remote traumatic brain injury.
