Summary

This study looks at why some people get persistent headaches after a mild concussion and tests a new treatment called repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS). Researchers will measure headache days and blood markers in 62 adults who had a mild brain injury 2-4 months earlier. Half will receive real rTMS and half a sham version to see if it reduces headache severity.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS)
What this could lead to: If successful, rTMS could offer a new, non-drug treatment to reduce headache days after a mild concussion.
What could go wrong: This is a small, early-stage study with only 62 participants, and the results may not apply to everyone. rTMS may not work better than a sham procedure.
