The primary outcome is the Flanker interference effect: the difference in reaction time between incongruent and congruent trials (lower = better inhibitory control). Additional outcomes include overall accuracy and congruency effect on accuracy.

Participants can bank points at any time before explosion. The primary outcome is the adjusted average number of pumps on unexploded balloons, which reflects risk-taking behavior while controlling for random balloon explosion points.

The Total Learning Score is the sum of correctly recalled words across all five trials, ranging from 0 to 75, with higher scores indicating better verbal learning and immediate memory. After a 20-minute delay filled with other cognitive tasks, participants are asked to verbally recall as many words as possible from the original list without re-presentation (Delayed Recall Score, range 0-15). Higher delayed recall scores indicate better long-term verbal memory and consolidation.

On the examiner's verbal cue via video, participants write the corresponding digit below each symbol as quickly as possible for 90 seconds while the examiner monitors via video to ensure compliance. The score is the total number of correct symbol-digit pairings completed, with no penalty for errors. Scores typically range from 0 to approximately 110, with higher scores indicating faster processing speed.

Participants view colored words displayed on the examiner\'s shared screen and verbally name the ink color while ignoring the word content. The test includes three conditions: neutral words (e.g., "table," "chair"), general emotional words (positive/negative: e.g., "happy," "angry"), and trauma-related words specific to PTSD (e.g., "danger," "threat"). Response latencies are recorded. The interference score is calculated by subtracting the mean reaction time for neutral words from the mean reaction time for trauma-related words. Higher interference scores (in milliseconds) indicate greater difficulty inhibiting attention to trauma-relevant content and poorer attentional control.

Individuals with PTSD often experience difficulties with memory, attention, concentration, and problem-solving, which can significantly affect their daily lives, work performance, and overall quality of life. These cognitive challenges can hinder trauma recovery and reduce the effectiveness of standard PTSD treatments.\n\nThe main questions this study seeks to address are:\n\nDoes specialized brain training improve PTSD symptoms compared to regular computer games? Does brain training enhance cognitive functions such as memory, attention, processing speed, and executive functioning? Does brain training improve quality of life and daily functioning? Do participants' self-efficacy and perceived social support influence treatment outcomes?\n\nResearchers will compare two approaches: a specialized cognitive training program (HAPPYneuron Pro) with strategy teachings and quality-of-life discussions, versus engaging computer games with quality-of-life discussions, to determine which is more effective for people with PTSD.\n\nStudy Design\n\nParticipants will be randomly assigned to one of two groups for an 8-week program:\n\nCognitive remediation training group: Complete computerized cognitive exercises and strategy teachings specifically designed to strengthen memory, attention, and executive functions, combined with quality-of-life discussions.\n\nControl group: Complete engaging computer games combined with quality-of-life discussions.\n\nSchedule\n\nBoth groups will follow the same schedule:\n\nOne online session per week, in small and consistent groups of 6 participants. Each 60-minute session consists of 30 minutes of computer activities followed by 45 minutes of group discussion.\n\nOne at-home individual homework exercise per week (30 minutes at home).\n\nTotal time commitment: 1h45 per week for 8 weeks.\n\nAssessments All participants will complete three comprehensive assessment sessions: before treatment, immediately after the 8-week program, and 3 months later. Assessments include neuropsychological testing and questionnaires on PTSD symptoms, depression, anxiety, quality of life, satisfaction with life, social support, cognitive failures, and self-efficacy.\n\nSignificance This research evaluates a new, accessible and remotely deliverable approach for PTSD treatment. Current evidence-based treatments often do not directly target the cognitive impairments experienced by many individuals with PTSD.\n\nCompensation Participants will receive $35 for each completed assessment (maximum $105). Control group participants will gain access to the cognitive remediation training program after completing their participation."}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'ALL', 'stdAges': ['ADULT'], 'maximumAge': '45 Years', 'minimumAge': '18 Years', 'healthyVolunteers': False, 'eligibilityCriteria': 'Inclusion Criteria\n\n* Age 18 to 45 years\n* Able to speak and read French fluently\n* Access to a computer with a camera and a secure Internet connection\n* Access to a private space for assessment and intervention sessions\n* Available for the complete treatment protocol\n* Confirmed current PTSD diagnosis using the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-5 (SCID-5)\n* Residing in Canada\n\nExclusion Criteria\n\n* History of neurological disorders (stroke, intracranial surgery, aneurysm, epilepsy)\n* Moderate to severe traumatic brain injury OR hospitalization due to traumatic brain injury\n* Mild traumatic brain injury less than 6 months ago with persistent symptoms\n* Psychotic disorders\n* Alcohol abuse or substance dependence disorders\n* Video game addiction\n* Hospitalization for major depression or suicide risk within the past 3 months\n* Regular use of medications that impact neurocognition, including: benzodiazepines (diazepam, lorazepam, alprazolam, Ativan, Xanax, Rivotril)\n* Residence outside Canada'}, 'identificationModule': {'nctId': 'NCT07309302', 'briefTitle': 'Psychosocial Factors and Efficacy of Remote Cognitive Remediation for Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder', 'organization': {'class': 'OTHER', 'fullName': 'Université du Québec a Montréal'}, 'officialTitle': 'Psychosocial Determinants and Impact of a Synchronous Remote Cognitive Remediation Program on Individuals With Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder.', 'orgStudyIdInfo': {'id': '2024-5811'}}, 'armsInterventionsModule': {'armGroups': [{'type': 'EXPERIMENTAL', 'label': 'Cognitive Remediation Training', 'description': 'Cognitive Remediation Training', 'interventionNames': ['Behavioral: Cognitive Remediation Training']}, {'type': 'PLACEBO_COMPARATOR', 'label': 'Video Games with Life Quality Support', 'description': 'Video Games with Quality of Life Support', 'interventionNames': ['Other: Control Group']}], 'interventions': [{'name': 'Cognitive Remediation Training', 'type': 'BEHAVIORAL', 'description': 'Cognitive Remediation Training: Eight-week remote program using HAPPYneuron Pro software targeting attention, verbal memory, processing speed, and executive functions.\n\nParticipants attend weekly 75-minute group sessions (maximum six participants) via videoconferencing: 30 minutes of computerized cognitive exercises and 45 minutes of guided discussion on metacognitive strategies and quality-of-life topics.
