Brain stimulation and training for seniors with TBI
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be a veteran, age 65 or older.
- You had a mild traumatic brain injury (concussion) at least 3 months ago.
- You have trouble with attention or concentration (self-reported or doctor-documented).
- Your medications for cognition or brain chemistry have been stable for at least 3 weeks.
- You must have internet access at home and no metal in your head or implanted devices.

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 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.
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.
This trial tests whether non-invasive brain stimulation can improve thinking and memory in veterans who have both a past mild traumatic brain injury and PTSD. You can do the sessions from home with internet access.
This study tests if a gentle brain stimulation technique called tDCS, combined with memory training, can help older adults with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) improve their working memory. You'll have MRI scans and attend training sessions.
This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique (tDCS) can help improve memory and thinking skills in people aged 60–75 who have noticed mild memory problems. You'll receive either real or sham (placebo) stimulation and undergo cognitive training over several weeks.
