Summary

This study is testing whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called iTBS, combined with computer-based attention training, can improve focus and daily functioning in people with persistent attention problems after a mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI), with or without PTSD. Researchers will enroll 200 adults aged 18-80 who are at least 3 months past their injury. The goal is to measure changes in real-world abilities and PTSD symptoms, not to cure the conditions.
