Nerve stimulation plus cognitive training for brain injury recovery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests if a gentle, noninvasive nerve stimulation (on the neck) combined with computerized thinking exercises can help people recovering from a traumatic brain injury improve memory and attention. It is for adults currently in inpatient rehab who can use a keyboard and are medically stable.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are between 18 and 65 years old and currently in inpatient rehab for a recent traumatic brain injury.
- You can use a keyboard independently and understand and communicate in English.
- You are able to give your own consent to participate and are oriented to place, time, and situation.
- You do not have any medical implants like a pacemaker, and you are not pregnant or breastfeeding.

This trial tests whether stimulating a nerve in the wrist (median nerve) can help improve thinking and memory problems in people who have had a recent traumatic brain injury. It is for adults with moderate injuries who have trouble with memory and thinking.
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 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 study tests a non-invasive deep brain stimulation technique to help people with traumatic brain injury improve their spatial navigation skills. The goal is to see if this stimulation can enhance brain function and daily life abilities.
This trial tests whether pairing vagus nerve stimulation with rehabilitation exercises can improve movement and daily function in people with long-term motor problems after a severe traumatic brain injury.
This study tests whether a small device that stimulates a nerve in your ear (combined with computerized brain exercises) can help improve memory, attention, and thinking abilities in adults experiencing cognitive changes. You'll use the device at home with an app on your phone or tablet.
