NCT ID NCT04437498
First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 24, 2026 · Updated 26 times
Summary
This study tests a non-invasive device that gently stimulates the vagus nerve (a key nerve connecting the brain and body) in veterans who have both mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) and PTSD. The goal is to see if it improves memory, reduces PTSD symptoms, and changes brain activity and inflammation. One hundred veterans will receive either active stimulation or a sham (inactive) treatment twice daily, and researchers will compare outcomes like memory tests, brain scans, and stress responses.
