tDCS for mild brain injury memory word finding
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be between 18 and 75 years old
- Have served in the U.S. armed services
- Have had a mild to moderate traumatic brain injury diagnosed by a specific research method
- Have English reading and speaking fluency
- Have word-retrieval difficulty on formal brain/memory testing
- Be able to give informed consent (or have help doing so)

This study tests whether non-invasive brain stimulation can help people with chronic traumatic brain injury (TBI) find words more easily. It involves sessions at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston.
This study tests whether a gentle electrical current (called tDCS) applied to the scalp can help with brain function after a traumatic brain injury. You may be eligible if you had a TBI at least 2 years ago and are right-handed.
This study tests whether a non-surgical brain stimulation called tDCS can improve “executive function,” which means skills like planning, focus, and decision-making. It is designed for people with several mental health and substance-use conditions, and it may help you if those skills are affected by your diagnosis.
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.
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.
This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) can help improve thinking and memory problems that some people have after a mild concussion. tDCS uses a small electrical current from scalp electrodes to gently activate parts of the brain.
