Adapting a counseling program for first responders with head injuries
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma, Mental health clinical trials.
This trial adapts a proven counseling program (STAIR-NT) to better help first responders who have had a traumatic brain injury and may also be experiencing PTSD. The goal is to give you coping tools that work for the unique challenges you face on the job.

This trial tests a type of brain stimulation called repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) combined with a medication called D-cycloserine to help first responders with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). It aims to reduce PTSD symptoms by targeting brain areas involved in fear and memory.
This trial tests whether hyperbaric oxygen therapy (breathing pure oxygen in a pressurized chamber) can improve thinking, mood, and overall well-being in first responders who have had a traumatic brain injury and still have symptoms. If you are a first responder dealing with ongoing brain injury symptoms, this study could help you find new ways to feel better.
This trial tests whether a type of brain stimulation called iTBS (which uses magnetic pulses) added to a standard PTSD therapy (EMDR) helps reduce PTSD symptoms more than EMDR alone. It involves 16 weeks of treatment and requires some commitments like avoiding alcohol.
This study tests different types of talk therapy for PTSD, like CPT, PE, and STAIR. It aims to find which treatment works best for people with PTSD.
