Mindfulness and nerve stimulation for headache after mild brain injury
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma, Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests whether combining mindfulness training with a small nerve-stimulating earbud can reduce headaches in people who had a mild brain injury. It aims to see if this approach helps with pain and daily function.

This study looks at treatment for ongoing headache that starts or gets worse after a mild or moderate head/neck injury in veterans or active-duty service members. It may help by testing an approach aimed at reducing headache burden and improving daily functioning.
This study tests whether a noninvasive brain stimulation treatment combined with therapy can reduce long-lasting headaches after a mild brain injury. You might be a good candidate if your headaches started after the injury and have continued for months.
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 whether a combination of brain stimulation and cognitive training can reduce depression symptoms in people who have ongoing mild traumatic brain injury (TBI). It may help by targeting both mood and thinking/processing skills affected after mTBI.
This trial studies whether brain stimulation plus targeted brain rehabilitation can improve symptoms after a mild concussion (mTBI). You may be invited if your concussion happened at least 3 months ago and your symptoms are affecting thinking or mood, with or without PTSD.
This study tests if a gentle, non-invasive nerve stimulation device can help improve attention and memory in veterans with PTSD, depression, or mild brain injury. It uses a small device on the ear to stimulate a nerve that may influence brain function.
