Brain stimulation for memory and thinking in veterans
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma, Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) to see if it can improve memory and thinking in veterans who have both a past mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). You would receive the stimulation remotely, from home, for about an hour a day.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had a mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) more than 5 years ago.
- You have PTSD symptoms that have bothered you in the last month.
- You have some trouble with memory or thinking (confirmed by a short phone test).
- You have access to the internet for at least 1 hour each day.
- You do not have metal objects in your head or face (like braces or implants) and no skin issues where the electrodes will be placed.
- You are not pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding.

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 study tests whether a noninvasive brain stimulation treatment can improve thinking and memory problems after an acute ischemic stroke. It also uses brain scans to better understand how the treatment may help.
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.
This study tests a new, non-invasive brain stimulation method over two weeks to see if it improves memory and thinking in healthy young and older adults. It aims to help understand if this technique could benefit cognitive function.
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 is testing a gentle, non-invasive brain stimulation technique (called tES) to see how it affects memory and thinking in people with memory problems. It involves light electrical stimulation applied to the scalp during sessions over several weeks.
