Brain stimulation for long-term traumatic brain injury
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests whether a gentle electrical current (called tDCS) applied to the scalp can help with brain function after a traumatic brain injury. You may be eligible if you had a TBI at least 2 years ago and are right-handed.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have had a traumatic brain injury (TBI) for at least 2 years.
- You are right-handed.
- You speak English.
- You do not have uncorrected vision or hearing problems.
- You have never had a stroke or other brain condition (like a learning disorder) before your TBI.
- You are safe to have an MRI (not claustrophobic, no metal implants, and not pregnant).

This trial tests whether a noninvasive brain stimulation treatment (tDCS) can improve word-retrieval problems after a mild or moderate concussion-like brain injury. It may help if testing shows trouble finding the right words when speaking.
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 whether non-invasive brain stimulation can help people with chronic traumatic brain injury (TBI) find words more easily. It involves sessions at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston.
This study tests whether a non-surgical brain stimulation called tDCS can improve “executive function,” which means skills like planning, focus, and decision-making. It is designed for people with several mental health and substance-use conditions, and it may help you if those skills are affected by your diagnosis.
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 gentle brain stimulation technique called tDCS can help people with persistent memory or thinking problems after a mild concussion. You will use a smartphone app and may receive active or placebo stimulation over several sessions.
