1. IntroductionTraumatic brain injury (TBI) represents a substantial global health problem and is considered a chronic disease with a potentially life-long impact on health and well-being [1,2]. The long-term consequences of TBI commonly involve a wide range of symptoms that relate to physical, emotional, cognitive, behavioral, and psychosocial functioning, often resulting in problems with community integration and productivity [2,3,4].

Key PointsQuestion  Does a home-based intervention that is individually tailored and goal oriented improve health-related quality of life (HRQOL) and participation and ameliorate symptoms in the chronic phase of traumatic brain injury (TBI)? Findings  In this randomized clinical trial including 120 adult participants in the chronic phase of TBI, no significant results were seen in disease-specific HRQOL or social participation.
