Football players and brain health study: DIAGNOSE CTE
This study looks at brain changes in former college and professional football players, people with memory problems, and healthy controls. It aims to learn more about chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) and Alzheimer's disease.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 50 years+ - NCT07625098RecruitingPhase 1
Social Support Program for People After Brain Injury
This study tests whether a program that helps connect people with social support can improve quality of life for adults living at home after a traumatic brain injury. You might qualify if your injury happened more than 6 months ago and you feel isolated or lack strong social connections.
St Louis, MissouriAges 18 years+ - NCT05176392Recruiting
Stimulation treatment plus therapy for post-injury headaches
This study tests whether a noninvasive brain stimulation treatment combined with therapy can reduce long-lasting headaches after a mild brain injury. You might be a good candidate if your headaches started after the injury and have continued for months.
San Diego, CaliforniaAges 18–65 - NCT07332299Recruiting
Brain stimulation and training for seniors with TBI
This study tests if a wearable brain stimulation device (tDCS) combined with computer-based training can improve attention and concentration in older veterans with a history of mild brain injury. It involves several sessions from home using a headset and computer.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges 65 years+ - NCT06028334Recruiting
GetUp&Go: Helping you get active after a brain injury
This study tests a program to help people with traumatic brain injury become more physically active. You would use a smartphone app and get coaching to increase your daily movement, which may improve your recovery and quality of life.
Elkins Park, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06562127Recruiting
Water exercise and cognitive training for veterans with TBI
This trial tests if combining water-based exercise with cognitive training over eight months can help improve thinking and memory in veterans with a past mild or moderate brain injury. It may benefit veterans aged 50-89 who have ongoing cognitive complaints.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 50–89 - NCT06828107Recruiting
Testing a device to detect traumatic brain injury
This study tests a new device called SENSE to see if it can detect traumatic brain injury (TBI) quickly. You may qualify if you have a TBI with bleeding seen on a CT scan, or if you are a healthy volunteer without brain problems.
Gainesville, FloridaAges 22 years+ - NCT06465290Recruiting
Brain recovery treatment for recent stroke with ankle stiffness
This trial tests a treatment to help your brain recover after a stroke. It focuses on improving ankle movement and leg strength using exercises that promote brain rewiring.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 30–85 - NCT06034509Recruiting
Thinking and blood vessel health after head injury

Asyut, AssuitAges 18–65 - NCT07225400Recruiting
Brain training for navigation in mild memory loss
This trial tests a new way to help people with mild memory problems improve their sense of direction and navigation. You will be asked to do tasks while wearing a special cap that records brain activity, to see how your brain responds to spatial challenges.
Manhattan, New YorkAges 65 years+ - NCT05380050Recruiting
Comparing online and in-person memory training for veterans with mild brain injury and PTSD
This study compares two ways of delivering a memory and thinking skills program to veterans with both mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The goal is to see if doing the training online is as effective as doing it in person, which could make it easier for more veterans to get help.
Gainesville, FloridaAges 30–55 - NCT03957343Recruiting
