Comparing online and in-person memory training for veterans with mild brain injury and PTSD
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma, Mental health clinical trials.
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.

This study tests a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) to see if it can improve memory and thinking in veterans who have both a past mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). You would receive the stimulation remotely, from home, for about an hour a day.
This study tests a computer-based memory training program for people with PTSD. It aims to see if this training can help reduce PTSD symptoms by improving how your brain processes memories. The study involves 8 remote sessions over 4 weeks and two MRI scans to look at brain changes.
This study tests a telehealth program to help older adults with mild memory problems improve their thinking skills and daily life. It involves working with a study partner, like a family member or friend.
This trial tests an intensive skills-training program to help with thinking and memory problems after a mild-to-moderate traumatic brain injury (TBI). It’s designed for veterans who are at least 6 months past the injury and still notice cognitive symptoms that affect daily goals like work or school.
This trial tests a program to help veterans with memory, attention, or thinking problems after a mild concussion (mTBI) and with PTSD. It also looks at depression and sleep issues. The goal is to improve thinking and daily life.
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.
