Early brain stimulation for traumatic brain injury
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests whether early brain stimulation can help recovery after a moderate to severe traumatic brain injury (TBI). It might help improve thinking and awareness in patients who can already speak and follow directions.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had a moderate to severe brain injury, as shown by a low score on a consciousness test.
- You are between 18 and 80 years old.
- Your brain injury was the only major injury (no other serious body injuries).
- You are able to speak clearly and score well on a memory and awareness test.
- You are not pregnant and do not have active seizures.

This early study tests whether a brain-stimulation method can help after recovery from a mild to moderate traumatic brain injury (TBI), sometimes called concussion. It also may include healthy volunteers to compare safety and computer-based brain measures.
This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called transcranial theta-burst stimulation (tTIs) can help patients recover consciousness after severe brain injury. The treatment aims to improve responsiveness in people in vegetative states or minimally conscious states.
This study tests a new therapy that uses a small device implanted in the brain (called deep brain stimulation) to help improve thinking and daily function in people who have had a moderate to severe brain injury. It is an early trial to see if the approach is safe and possible.
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 a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) to see if it can help improve symptoms after a traumatic brain injury (TBI). If you've had a TBI at least two years ago, this could help you.
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.
