N2 - Objetive: comparative analysis between control group and patients with TBI to determine whether there neuropsychological differences at 6 months of evolution, to guide timely intervention commensurate with the needs of this population. Materials and methods: a total of 79 patients with a history of TBI with a minimum of 6 months of evolution and 79 control subjects were evaluated. Both groups with a mean age of 34 and without previous neurological or psychiatric disorders and an average schooling of 11 years for the control group and 9 years for the TBI group. The Glasgow Coma Scale in the TBI group was classified as moderate with 11 points. The Brief Neuropsychological Evaluation in Spanish Neuropsi was applied to both groups. Results: significant differences (p≤0.05) in the tasks of orientation, attention, memory, language, reading and writing were found. Conclusions: TBI generates significant neuropsychological changes, even six months after discharge from the health service. It suggests that patients with head injury require treatment after overcoming the initial stage.
