Magnetic pulses may ease Post-Concussion headaches without pills
NCT ID NCT06112093
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS), a non-invasive brain stimulation technique, can reduce chronic headaches and improve recovery in people with mild traumatic brain injury. Researchers will compare active rTMS to a sham (fake) treatment in 60 adults aged 18-55 who have had persistent headaches for at least 3 months after their injury. The goal is to see if rTMS can help without the side effects of common headache medications.
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 it works, this could offer a non-drug option for managing chronic headaches after mild brain injury, potentially reducing reliance on medications with side effects.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-phase trial with only 60 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The treatment may not prove effective, and long-term benefits are uncertain.
