Brain stimulation plus cognitive training for depression after mild head injury
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests whether a combination of brain stimulation and cognitive training can reduce depression symptoms in people who have ongoing mild traumatic brain injury (TBI). It may help by targeting both mood and thinking/processing skills affected after mTBI.

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.
This trial tests if a remote brain stimulation device can improve attention and concentration in active-duty service members who have had a mild traumatic brain injury. Participants use the device at home while completing tasks to help with daily focus.
This trial studies a noninvasive brain treatment (rTMS) to reduce depression symptoms in people with past mild traumatic brain injury from military service. It may help by changing brain activity, while also requiring stable mental health care and regular follow-up.
This trial studies whether brain stimulation plus targeted brain rehabilitation can improve symptoms after a mild concussion (mTBI). You may be invited if your concussion happened at least 3 months ago and your symptoms are affecting thinking or mood, with or without PTSD.
This early-stage study tests whether a noninvasive brain stimulation treatment (called iTBS) can reduce impulsivity and suicidal thoughts in Veterans who have had a mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) and recent suicidal thinking. If you qualify, you may be offered a monitored treatment plan and assessments for safety and symptom changes.
