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 a non-invasive device that stimulates the vagus nerve in the ear to see if it helps reduce PTSD symptoms. You wear the device during sessions, and it may help your brain manage stress better.
This study tests whether a gentle electrical stimulation of a nerve in the ear (called vagus nerve stimulation) can help people recover from a recent brain injury. The goal is to see if this treatment improves brain function and overall recovery.
This study tests a device that stimulates a nerve in the neck to see if it helps with PTSD symptoms. It is for veterans who have PTSD, but have not had a brain injury or certain other health issues.
