Magnetic brain stimulation for headaches after a concussion
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma, Pain clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 55 years old
- You had a mild concussion (brief loss of consciousness less than 30 minutes, or confusion for up to 24 hours)
- Headaches started within 7 days of your head injury and have lasted at least 3 months
- You have headaches rated 3 or higher on a 0-10 scale on at least 3 days every week
- You do not have a history of chronic headaches (like migraines or tension headaches) before the concussion
- You do not have metal implants in your head, a history of seizures, or take medications for other brain conditions

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.
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 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 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 study tests a new treatment that combines brain stimulation (TMS) with virtual reality to help people who have had a mild concussion and still feel dizzy months later. You will receive the treatment and be monitored to see if your symptoms improve.
This study tests a non-invasive type of brain stimulation called rTMS for people with frequent or chronic migraine who have not found relief from at least 3 prevention medications. The goal is to see if this treatment can safely reduce pain.
