Better brain stimulation for long-lasting concussion symptoms
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma, Mental health, Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests whether personalized brain stimulation can help people who have ongoing symptoms more than 20 on a standard concussion scale, such as headaches, dizziness, or trouble concentrating, after a mild head injury in the past year.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had a mild head injury (concussion) in the last 12 months
- You are between 18 and 65 years old at the time of that injury
- You still have at least 20 points on a checklist of common concussion symptoms (like headache, feeling sick, or memory problems)
- You do not have any serious brain or nerve problems from the injury (like weakness or trouble moving)
- You have not had transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) therapy before, and you can safely have an MRI or TMS (no metal implants like pacemakers)
- You don't have any severe medical or mental health issues, uncontrolled diabetes or high blood pressure, cancer, seizures, pregnancy, or active alcohol/drug misuse

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 study tests whether a type of brain stimulation called TMS can help people with ongoing symptoms after a mild concussion. If you have had concussion symptoms for at least a month but less than a year, you may be able to join.
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 study tests whether a non-invasive magnetic pulse treatment (repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation) can help people with long-lasting headaches following a mild concussion. If you are 18 to 55 years old and have had daily headaches for at least 3 months after your head injury, this study may help find a new way to relieve your pain.
