This study tests two types of brain stimulation (rTMS) to see if they can safely reduce depression in 198 U.S. military members and veterans who have had a concussion. Participants receive magnetic pulses to a brain area linked to mood. The goal is to ease symptoms, not cure the …

This early-phase study tests a non-invasive magnetic pulse treatment called iTBS to see if it can safely reduce impulsivity and suicidal thoughts in veterans who have had a mild traumatic brain injury. About 55 veterans will receive the treatment over two weeks. The goal is to ga…

This study tests a new approach for people still struggling with thinking problems 3-12 months after a mild concussion. It combines a gentle, non-invasive brain stimulation technique called tDCS with computer-based cognitive training. The goal is to see if this combination can im…

This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called rTMS can reduce chronic headaches in people who had a mild traumatic brain injury. Researchers will track headache severity, sleep, and daily function in 60 adults over time. The goal is to find a drug-fre…

This pilot study tests a new program called CRISP to help young adults aged 18-29 recover from concussion and manage headaches. The program focuses on support and recovery strategies. Researchers will measure how acceptable the treatment is and track changes in headache severity …

This study tests if a mobile app with games can help adults with dizziness after a mild traumatic brain injury. 68 participants will do balance and eye exercises either with the app or on paper for 4 weeks. Researchers will check if the app group feels less dizzy and moves better…

This study tests a non-invasive brain stimulation method called transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) in children aged 10-15 who have had a mild traumatic brain injury (concussion) and still have symptoms like trouble with movement or thinking. The goal is to see if tDCS…

This study looks at whether daily growth hormone shots for 6 months can improve quality of life in veterans who have both mild traumatic brain injury and adult growth hormone deficiency. About 172 veterans aged 21-55 will receive either the hormone or a placebo. The main goal is …

This study tests a breathing-based biofeedback technique to improve heart rate variability and reduce persistent symptoms like headaches, dizziness, and memory problems after a mild traumatic brain injury. It involves 148 adults with a history of military service who have had sym…

This study is testing whether cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) can improve sleep, reduce brain injury symptoms, and help people with mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) get back to their daily activities. Researchers will enroll 15 adults with mTBI and sleep probl…

This study tests whether a smartphone app can help teens aged 13-18 who come to the emergency room with a concussion and are at high risk for long-lasting symptoms. The app lets them report symptoms daily and connects them to a specialist if needed. The goal is to see if this spe…

This study tests a new, non-invasive brain stimulation technique called LIP-tES neurofeedback to help reduce light sensitivity in Veterans who have had a mild traumatic brain injury. The goal is to see if the treatment is practical and well-liked by participants. Researchers will…

This study tests whether special listening exercises can improve hearing for people who have had a mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI). Many with mTBI struggle to hear clearly in noisy places or tell where sounds come from. The training has helped healthy people, and researchers w…

This study looks at whether mild traumatic brain injuries (mTBIs) in Veterans increase the risk of dementia. Researchers will measure memory, brain waves, brain structure, and certain proteins linked to brain injury and dementia. The goal is to better understand how mTBI may cont…

This study uses powerful MRI scanners to look at the brains and spinal cords of 700 people, including healthy volunteers and those with conditions like multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer's, and Parkinson's. The goal is to understand why some brains stay healthy while others decline. R…
