Brain zaps and focus drills: new hope for TBI and PTSD attention problems?

NCT ID NCT03819608

First seen May 09, 2026 · Last updated May 09, 2026

Summary

This study tests whether combining a type of brain stimulation (called iTBS) with computer-based attention training can improve attention and daily life for people with mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) and/or PTSD. Researchers will enroll 200 adults aged 18–80 who have had a mild TBI at least 3 months ago and still have attention problems. The goal is to see if this combination helps the brain's attention networks work better and improves real-world functioning.
