[Predictors of the duration of post-traumatic amnesia following traumatic brain injury].

Introduction: The duration of post-traumatic amnesia (PTA) helps estimate the level of recovery following traumatic brain injury (TBI). Yet, little information is available about which sociodemographic and clinical variables influence its duration. This study aims to identify them and create a predictive model that makes it possible to estimate the time it takes for a patient to emerge from PTA.

[Use of immersive virtual reality for cognitive rehabilitation of patients with brain injury].

Introduction: Virtual reality (VR) is a therapeutic tool that is widely used in the cognitive rehabilitation of brain-damaged patients. Depending on the degree of immersiveness, a distinction can be made between non-immersive, semi-immersive and immersive VR. Studies assessing the utility of VR have focused on the non-immersive and semi-immersive modes.

[Non-pharmacological intervention in post-traumatic amnesia, a systematic review].

Introduction: Survivors of traumatic brain injury may experience a transient state of confusion and global disturbance of cognitive-behavioural functioning called post-traumatic amnesia.

Aim: To describe the characteristics, methodological quality and main results of studies that have analysed the impact of non-pharmacological interventions in the treatment of symptoms associated with post-traumatic amnesia.

Patients And Methods: Following the PRISMA guidelines, a literature search was carried out on papers published in the PubMed and PsycInfo databases over the last 20 years (2000-2020).
