Nerve stimulation for attention and memory
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma, Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests if a gentle, non-invasive nerve stimulation device can help improve attention and memory in veterans with PTSD, depression, or mild brain injury. It uses a small device on the ear to stimulate a nerve that may influence brain function.

This study tests if stimulating the vagus nerve with an implanted device can help adults with chronic PTSD who haven't gotten better with standard treatments. You would have the device implanted and then follow the study plan for several months.
This trial tests a safe, non-invasive nerve stimulation on the ear combined with arm and hand therapy to see if it can improve movement and function for people with neck-level spinal cord injury who still have some hand ability.
This study looks at whether stimulating the vagus nerve can improve symptoms in veterans who have mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). If you qualify, you may be offered a device-based treatment and monitored for safety and symptom changes.
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.
This study tests a gentle ear stimulation device that activates a nerve when you move your arm or leg, to see if it helps your recovery after a stroke or brain/spinal cord injury. If you still have some weakness, this could be a way to boost your rehabilitation.
This study tests if a non-invasive device that gently stimulates a nerve in the neck can help reduce PTSD symptoms. You'll receive the stimulation during sessions and share your feedback.
