Summary of Independent Research

 

Introduction

The Cognitive FX (CFX) treatment for persistent symptoms after concussion is an intensive one-week treatment characterized by a repetitive cycle of cardiovascular activity, rehabilitation therapy, and relaxation exercises. CFX has received a lot of attention in the Netherlands, but the effectiveness of the treatment is unknown. This study maps changes in people who undergo CFX treatment in the areas of symptom burden, psychological functioning, vestibular-ocular functioning, neurocognitive functions, balance, general functioning, and participation.

 

Method

The functioning of 64 participants was measured with questionnaires and multidisciplinary measurements before, immediately after and six months after the treatment. Change in functioning was tested with t-tests and reliable change indexes. A multiple regression analysis was used to investigate factors that are related to change in symptom burden.

 

Results

The symptom burden of participants was significantly lower after treatment, a meaningful reduction was seen in 77% of the participants. In addition, there was a decrease in self-reported anxiety, depression, fatigue and sleep problems. Improvements were also observed in vestibular-ocular functioning, neurocognitive functioning and participation. Higher levels of fatigue and a lower sense of responsibility were related to a stronger decrease in symptom burden.
