Brain zaps for TBI: early stimulation may boost thinking skills

First seen Jun 06, 2026

Summary

This study looks at how brain activity changes as people recover from a moderate to severe traumatic brain injury (TBI). It also tests whether giving a gentle electrical stimulation to the brain (called anodal transcranial electrical stimulation) early after injury can improve thinking and memory. Sixty adults with TBI will be randomly assigned to receive either real or fake stimulation during cognitive tasks, and their progress will be tracked for 6 months. The goal is to learn the best timing for this therapy to help the brain heal.
