Nerve stimulation for memory problems after brain injury
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma, Mental health clinical trials.
This trial tests whether stimulating a nerve in the wrist (median nerve) can help improve thinking and memory problems in people who have had a recent traumatic brain injury. It is for adults with moderate injuries who have trouble with memory and thinking.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are between 18 and 64 years old.
- You were hospitalized within 3 days of your brain injury and had a Glasgow Coma Scale score between 9 and 12 (moderate 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 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.
This trial uses brain stimulation and MRI to study memory problems in people with neurodegenerative diseases or traumatic brain injury. It aims to understand how the brain changes and may help guide future treatments.
This study tests if stimulating the median nerve in the arm can help improve brain function in people who have survived a cardiac arrest but still cannot make purposeful movements. It is for patients who have been stable for at least a week and received advanced life support within 6 hours after their heart restarted.
This study tests a gentle, noninvasive brain stimulation technique to improve memory and thinking in people with early Alzheimer's-related mild cognitive impairment (AD-MCI). It uses magnetic pulses to boost brain activity, and might help slow down memory loss.
This study tests a brain-stimulation approach to help improve memory as people age. You may be able to take part if you can consent and meet safety and medical criteria, especially related to brain/nerve health and seizure risk.
