MILD TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURY

This UCLA study is testing a personalized, non-invasive brain stimulation treatment for people who still have symptoms like headaches, dizziness, fatigue, and brain fog months after a concussion. Researchers will use MRI scans to map each person's brain and then apply magnetic pu…

This study is testing whether a gentle, non-invasive brain stimulation technique can help children recover from lingering effects of mild concussions. Researchers will work with 10 children aged 10-15 who still have symptoms like balance problems or thinking difficulties weeks af…

This study is testing a computer-based decision tool to help primary care doctors better manage children with concussions. The tool helps doctors identify which kids are at higher risk for longer-lasting symptoms so they can be referred to specialists sooner. Researchers will see…

This study is testing a new, quick brain scanning device called TES HT100. It aims to see if this 5-minute, non-invasive scan can accurately detect brain injuries in adults who come to the emergency room with mild head trauma or certain neurological symptoms. Researchers will com…

This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called rTMS can help reduce chronic headaches that develop after mild traumatic brain injury (concussion). Researchers will give magnetic stimulation treatments to 60 adults who have had persistent headaches for …

This study is testing whether a breathing exercise technique called heart rate variability biofeedback can help reduce persistent symptoms after concussion. The research involves 148 adults, including military veterans and civilians, who have had mild traumatic brain injuries and…

This small pilot study is testing a new 6-session online therapy program called CRISP for young adults (ages 18-30) who still have headaches and other symptoms after a concussion. The program, based on a therapy used for chronic pain, helps people understand and express emotions …

This VA study is testing whether a gentle, non-invasive brain stimulation technique can reduce light sensitivity in Veterans who have had a mild traumatic brain injury. The small pilot study will enroll 36 participants to see if the treatment is practical and acceptable, and will…

This study is testing a home-based treatment to improve attention and memory problems in active-duty service members and veterans who have had a mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI). Participants will use a safe, non-invasive brain stimulation device at home while doing computer-ba…

This study is testing whether daily growth hormone replacement for 6 months can improve quality of life for veterans who have both mild traumatic brain injury and adult growth hormone deficiency. Researchers will compare the hormone treatment against a placebo in 172 veterans to …

This study is testing whether a mobile game app is better than standard paper instructions at helping adults reduce dizziness caused by a mild traumatic brain injury. 68 participants will be randomly assigned to use either the app or standard methods for their daily balance and g…

This study is testing special listening exercises to help people with mild brain injuries hear better. Many people struggle to understand speech in noisy places or locate where sounds are coming from after such injuries. Researchers want to see if computer-based hearing training …

This study compares two types of talk therapy to help military personnel with sleep problems after a mild brain injury. Researchers want to see which therapy works better for improving sleep and reducing other lingering symptoms like headaches and memory issues. The study involve…

This study is testing a new sensory training program to help people with mild traumatic brain injuries who have ongoing symptoms like dizziness, headaches, and vision problems. Researchers will enroll 80 adults who have had symptoms lasting over a month after their injury. The go…

This study is exploring whether gently stimulating a nerve in the forehead can improve the brain's natural cleanup system, which clears away waste. Researchers want to see if this non-invasive method can help slow cognitive decline in people who have had a recent mild head injury…

This study aims to understand if Veterans who have had mild to moderate head injuries are at higher risk for developing dementia later in life. Researchers will compare 800 participants—some with past head injuries, some with early memory concerns, and some healthy—by testing the…

This study aims to understand how the brain changes and adapts in various neurological conditions and during normal aging. Researchers will use advanced, high-powered MRI scans to look at brain structure, function, and energy use in 700 participants, including people with disease…
