Improving spatial navigation after brain injury with brain stimulation
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests a non-invasive deep brain stimulation technique to help people with traumatic brain injury improve their spatial navigation skills. The goal is to see if this stimulation can enhance brain function and daily life abilities.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You have been diagnosed with a traumatic brain injury (TBI).
- You do not have other serious brain or mental health conditions like severe depression or dementia.

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 uses a non-invasive magnetic stimulation technique to measure brain activity in people who have had a traumatic brain injury (TBI). It aims to see if this tool can help doctors better understand and track recovery after a head injury.
This study tests if a gentle, noninvasive nerve stimulation (on the neck) combined with computerized thinking exercises can help people recovering from a traumatic brain injury improve memory and attention. It is for adults currently in inpatient rehab who can use a keyboard and are medically stable.
This study tests a non-invasive brain stimulation method to help improve arm and hand movement after a first ischemic stroke. It may help people who still have moderate to severe weakness months after their stroke.
This study tests whether noninvasive brain stimulation can improve how people plan and navigate toward a goal. It also uses brain scans and questionnaires to see who may benefit and whether the stimulation is safe for you.
This trial tests if deep brain stimulation (DBS) can improve memory and thinking for people who have had a traumatic brain injury. DBS uses a small device placed in the brain to send gentle electrical pulses.
