From page 1...
... Cognitive Rehabilitation Therapy for Traumatic Brain Injury: Evaluating the Evidence was the IOM's resulting study of the evidence. The report's conclusions revolved around the fact that there is little continuity among research studies of the effectiveness of different types of CRT, and there exist only small amounts of evidence (or, in many cases, none)

... The committee will further evaluate evidence relating CRT's effectiveness on the family and family training. The goal of this evaluation is to identify specific CRT interventions with sufficient evidence base to support their widespread use in the MHS, including coverage through the TRICARE benefit.

... Lockette emphasized the critical need for research that, while scientifically rigorous, also takes into account the budgetary environment in which CRT treatments are delivered -- an environment very cost-constrained. He asked workshop participants to consider what kinds of techniques need to be pursued as part of a research agenda and what the standards for research programs should be to effectively and efficiently move the field toward specific, scientifically based guidance for CRT practitioners charged with helping injured service members regain functionality and improve their quality of life.

... The recommendations expressed in Chapter 4 are in no way a consensus; rather, they are meant to inform and guide, where relevant or helpful, health services administrators as they map out future research directions and clinical guidelines for using CRT to treat TBI. In accordance with the policies of the IOM, the summary does not attempt to establish any conclusions or recommendations about needs and future directions, focusing instead on issues identified by the speakers and workshop participants.
