Abstract
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a global health concern, often resulting in cognitive deficits and altered states of consciousness. This study evaluated the effectiveness of Receptive Provocation (RP) therapy in improving mental function and consciousness levels among TBI patients. 70 patients were randomly assigned to experimental and control groups, with the experimental group undergoing RP therapy for 20-25 minutes daily over seven days, while the control group received routine care. Post-test assessments on day 8 revealed significant improvements in the experimental group's cognitive function and consciousness levels (p=0.001), whereas no significant changes were observed in the control group. These findings suggest that RP therapy is an effective intervention for enhancing cognitive and consciousness outcomes in TBI patients.
