OBJECTIVE
Several studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of a paging system, NeuroPage, in helping survivors of brain injury compensate for everyday memory and planning problems. This study examines the effectiveness of the paging system in the sub-group of 12 children and adolescents with neurological deficits who took part in a larger study.
METHODS
Twelve participants aged 8-17 years took part in a randomized controlled crossover trial in which their completion of everyday goals was monitored prior to and during use of the NeuroPage system, where participants were sent reminder messages regarding tasks they should complete.
RESULTS
All 12 young people showed significant improvements in carrying out everyday tasks between the baseline and treatment phases.
CONCLUSIONS
The NeuroPage system can be successfully used by children and adolescents with neurological deficits and can alleviate some of the everyday difficulties caused by their memory and planning difficulties.
目的
多项研究已证明寻呼系统NeuroPage在帮助脑损伤幸存者弥补日常记忆和规划问题方面的有效性。本研究考察了该寻呼系统在参与一项更大规模研究的12名患有神经功能缺损的儿童和青少年亚组中的有效性。
方法
12名年龄在8至17岁的参与者参加了一项随机对照交叉试验，在使用NeuroPage系统之前和期间监测他们日常目标的完成情况，该系统会向参与者发送有关他们应完成任务的提醒信息。
结果
所有12名年轻人在基线期和治疗期之间执行日常任务方面均有显著改善。
结论
患有神经功能缺损的儿童和青少年可以成功使用NeuroPage系统，并且可以缓解由他们的记忆和规划困难所导致的一些日常困难。
