Brain stimulation to help thinking in veterans with brain injury and PTSD
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma, Mental health clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be a veteran with a past mild traumatic brain injury that happened more than 5 years ago
- You must have had PTSD symptoms in the last month
- You must have some trouble with thinking or memory (like on a phone memory test)
- You need to be able to use the internet for about 1 hour each day
- You must not have any other major brain conditions like seizures or strokes
- You cannot have metal objects in your head or face (regular dental fillings are okay)

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 whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called cTBS can help people with PTSD learn to overcome fear. You will have brain scans and receive stimulation to see if it improves how your brain processes fear-related memories.
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 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 combines a gentle brain stimulation technique (tDCS) with a writing therapy to see if it helps reduce PTSD symptoms in military personnel who also have a mild to moderate traumatic brain injury (TBI).
