Brain training and stimulation study for veterans with mild TBI
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma, Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests whether a computer-based brain training program, combined with a non-invasive brain stimulation technique, can help improve thinking speed and memory in veterans who have had a mild traumatic brain injury. It aims to find new ways to support cognitive recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a veteran aged 18-35, 50-80, or 50-85.
- You have a history of mild traumatic brain injury (concussion) that caused a brief loss of consciousness (less than 30 minutes).
- You are able to speak English and agree to the study procedures.
- You do not have metal implants, pacemakers, or other objects that could interfere with MRI or brain stimulation.
- You are not currently having thoughts of suicide, and you do not have serious neurological, kidney, or joint diseases.
- You are not taking certain medications like benzodiazepines or gabapentin, and you smoke less than 1 pack of cigarettes per day.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 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 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 tests if combining water-based exercise with cognitive training over eight months can help improve thinking and memory in veterans with a past mild or moderate brain injury. It may benefit veterans aged 50-89 who have ongoing cognitive complaints.
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 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.
