Recruiting studies
- NCT05446584RecruitingPhase 2
Study memory changes in people with past mild head injury

Colorado Springs, ColoradoAges 3 years+ - NCT05236010Recruiting
Brain stimulation plus cognitive training for mild TBI memory and thinking
This trial studies whether brain stimulation through the scalp can improve cognitive (thinking and memory) training in people with chronic mild traumatic brain injury (TBI). Participants train on thinking tasks while receiving a targeted “control network neuromodulation” approach to see if it enhances training results.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges 18–59 - NCT05048966Recruiting
Comparing two wellness support groups for brain injury and dementia
This study compares two group wellness programs for people with brain injuries or dementia and their caregivers. It aims to see which program helps improve well-being and quality of life for both the person with the condition and their support person.
East Hanover, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT04869059Recruiting
tDCS for mild brain injury memory word finding
This trial tests whether a noninvasive brain stimulation treatment (tDCS) can improve word-retrieval problems after a mild or moderate concussion-like brain injury. It may help if testing shows trouble finding the right words when speaking.
Dallas, TexasAges 18–75 - NCT04867317RecruitingPhase 3
Growth hormone treatment for veterans with mild traumatic brain injury and hormone deficiency
This study tests whether giving growth hormone, a natural substance that helps the body grow and repair tissues, can improve symptoms in veterans who have both a mild traumatic brain injury (concussion) and a deficiency in growth hormone. If you qualify, you may receive the treatment or a placebo (inactive shot), and the study will track your quality of life and symptoms over time.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 21–55 - NCT04550377RecruitingPhase 2
Cannabidiol for PTSD, including PTSD after mild head injury
This Phase 2 study tests whether cannabidiol (CBD) can reduce PTSD symptoms, including in people who also had a mild traumatic brain injury (TBI). It’s meant to see if CBD is helpful and safe for PTSD symptoms over the study period.
New York, New YorkAges 18–70 - NCT04400266RecruitingPhase 4
Buspirone and melatonin for depression after a brain injury
This trial studies whether the medicines buspirone and melatonin can reduce depression symptoms in people who had a mild or moderate traumatic brain injury (TBI) at least 3 months ago. It may help if you have ongoing depression after TBI and can safely take study medications and attend regular visits, including MRI scans.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–64 - NCT04349852Recruiting
Memory and attention training for adults after brain injury
This trial tests a therapy that helps improve verbal working memory and attention in adults who had a traumatic brain injury (TBI). It may help by training thinking skills that are often affected after an injury, but it’s only for people who meet timing and mental health substance-use requirements.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT04124029Recruiting
How head injuries affect brain health
This study looks at how mild or moderate head injuries (concussions) may relate to brain conditions like chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) and Alzheimer's disease. By comparing people with and without head injuries, researchers hope to learn more about what causes brain changes over time.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 30–90 - NCT07215195Recruiting
Brain injury, sleep, and mental health study
This study looks at how brain injuries affect sleep and mental health in the months after injury. It is for people who have had a stroke, brain bleed, or traumatic brain injury within the past year and are willing to let the research team contact their doctor if needed.
OxfordAges 18 years+ - NCT02920788Recruiting
Rehab program study for mild traumatic brain injury symptoms
This trial studies whether a specific rehabilitation program (“GOALS”) helps veterans with mild traumatic brain injury (TBI) who still have thinking or memory problems. It compares the program to usual care, using regular assessments and training over time.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07169370Recruiting
Exercise program for chronic brain injury survivors
This trial tests a 12-week exercise platform designed for people with chronic brain injury. It aims to help you become more active safely at home.
Columbus, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT06859996Recruiting
Cognitive rehab study for memory and focus after mild brain injury
This study tests two different types of cognitive rehabilitation (education and problem-solving strategies) delivered via video appointments. It may help people with ongoing thinking and memory problems after a mild brain injury.
Seattle, WashingtonAges 18 years+ - NCT05049057RecruitingPhase 2
Testing a nerve-blocking shot for recent mild TBI
This Phase 2 study tests a medication that blocks a pain signal (a CGRP receptor antibody) in people who recently had a mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) and are also dealing with post-traumatic headache (PTH). The goal is to see if it can reduce symptoms and improve recovery after the injury.
Fort Bragg, North CarolinaAges 18–50 - NCT07624825Recruiting
Emotional Awareness Therapy After Brain Injury
This study tests whether a therapy focused on recognizing and understanding emotions can help people recover better after a moderate or severe traumatic brain injury (TBI). You'll participate if you're at least 6 months past your injury and struggle to identify or describe your feelings.
Edison, New JerseyAges 18 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+ - NCT05589064Recruiting
Diet and nutrition program for lingering concussion symptoms
This study tests whether a dietary and nutrition intervention can improve symptoms that linger after a concussion. It may help people whose post-concussion symptoms have lasted a short to medium time (at least 2 weeks).

Well-being program for adults living with moderate to severe brain injury
This trial tests whether a well-being program can improve quality of life in adults with moderate to severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) more than a year after the injury. If you meet the language and medical-history requirements, you may be invited to join and complete program sessions and screening.
East Hanover, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT06792877Recruiting
Mindfulness for thinking in early Alzheimer's

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+ - NCT07282691Recruiting
