Brain stimulation for recovery after traumatic brain injury
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have had a traumatic brain injury (TBI) at least 2 years ago
- You must be right-handed
- You must be able to speak English
- You cannot have uncorrected vision or hearing problems (glasses or hearing aids are fine)
- You cannot have had a stroke or other neurological disorder before your TBI, and no learning disorders before your injury
- You must be able to have an MRI (no metal implants, no severe claustrophobia, 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 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 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 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 improve memory and thinking in people who have had a stroke. It is for those who are still in the early recovery phase (between 10 days and 5 months after their stroke) and have some ongoing cognitive problems.
This study looks at whether brain stimulation and brain scans can help measure recovery after an ischemic stroke. It may help researchers understand who benefits from non-invasive brain stimulation by using brain “signal” markers.
