Brief Summary:
Acquired brain injuries (ABI) represent one of the most important cause of disability and mortality during the pediatric age, also in the western Countries. The important medical progress of the last decade has increased the percentages of survivals, also in patients with the most severe clinical pictures. On the other hand, a brain injury reported in the first years of life presents with a more dramatic impact on cognitive and neurological development of patients and it may significantly interfere with adjustment, vocational perspectives and quality of life. Recent studies suggest that a brain damage at an early stage of development is related to more persistent sequelae in comparison with a comparable lesion reported by an adult patient, because of the neurological immaturity of the central nervous system at the moment of the insult. Furthermore, in most cases, a brain injury is related not only to motor and sensory deficits but also to significant behavioral and cognitive problems, that may occur immediately after the acute phase and persist or worsen over the years.
Detailed Description:
The aims of the present study are:
1. To contribute to the adaptation of the Italian version of the Coma Recovery Scale for pediatrics, investigating behavioral responses of children across different age and developmental levels. Typically developing children and children with disorder of cosciousness due to ABI will be included;
2. For patients with an adequate cognitive profile, to compare the efficacy of two multidomain neuropsychological interventions: a personalized neuropsychological treatment and a sequential neuropsychological treatment. In the personalized neuropsychological treatment each patient will receive greater stimulation of the most deficient cognitive function(s), while at the same time being trained on all the other functions; in the sequential neuropsychological treatment, a fixed-dose stimulation of each cognitive function following a sequential order will be provided.
