MILD TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURY

This UCLA study is testing a personalized, non-invasive brain stimulation treatment for people who still have symptoms like headaches, dizziness, fatigue, and brain fog months after a concussion. Researchers will use MRI scans to map each person's brain and then apply magnetic pu…

This study is testing whether a gentle, non-invasive brain stimulation technique can help children recover from lingering effects of mild concussions. Researchers will work with 10 children aged 10-15 who still have symptoms like balance problems or thinking difficulties weeks af…

This study is testing a computer-based decision tool to help primary care doctors better manage children with concussions. The tool helps doctors identify which kids are at higher risk for longer-lasting symptoms so they can be referred to specialists sooner. Researchers will see…

This study is testing a new, quick brain scanning device called TES HT100. It aims to see if this 5-minute, non-invasive scan can accurately detect brain injuries in adults who come to the emergency room with mild head trauma or certain neurological symptoms. Researchers will com…

This study is testing whether a mobile game app can help adults with dizziness after a mild brain injury do their prescribed balance exercises better than traditional paper instructions. About 68 participants will be randomly assigned to use either the app or standard paper logs …

This study aims to find the best talk therapy for insomnia in active-duty military members who have sleep problems and other lasting symptoms after a mild brain injury. Researchers will compare two different therapy programs—one with six sessions and one with four sessions—to see…

This study is testing whether a new sensory training program can help reduce symptoms like dizziness in people with mild traumatic brain injuries. Researchers will enroll 80 adults who have had persistent symptoms for weeks or months after their injury. The study aims to improve …

This study is testing whether daily growth hormone replacement therapy can improve quality of life for veterans who have both mild traumatic brain injury and adult growth hormone deficiency. The research will compare the hormone treatment against a placebo in 172 veterans over si…

This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called rTMS can help reduce chronic headaches that develop after mild traumatic brain injury (concussion). Researchers will give magnetic stimulation treatments to 60 adults who have had persistent headaches for …

This study is testing whether a breathing exercise technique called heart rate variability biofeedback can help reduce persistent symptoms after concussion. The research involves 148 adults, including military veterans and civilians, who have had mild traumatic brain injuries and…

This small pilot study is testing a new 6-session online therapy program called CRISP for young adults (ages 18-30) who still have headaches and other symptoms after a concussion. The program, based on a therapy used for chronic pain, helps people understand and express emotions …

This VA study is testing whether a gentle, non-invasive brain stimulation technique can reduce light sensitivity in Veterans who have had a mild traumatic brain injury. The small pilot study will enroll 36 participants to see if the treatment is practical and acceptable, and will…

This study is testing a home-based treatment to improve attention and memory problems in active-duty service members and veterans who have had a mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI). Participants will use a safe, non-invasive brain stimulation device at home while doing computer-ba…

This study is testing special listening exercises to help people with mild brain injuries hear better. Many people struggle to understand speech in noisy places or locate where sounds are coming from after such injuries. Researchers want to see if computer-based hearing training …

This study is exploring whether a gentle, non-invasive stimulation of a nerve in the forehead can improve the brain's natural waste-clearing system. Researchers want to see if this can help slow cognitive decline in people who have had a recent mild traumatic brain injury. They w…

This study aims to understand if Veterans who have had mild to moderate head injuries are at higher risk for developing dementia later in life. Researchers will compare 800 participants—some with past head injuries, some with early memory concerns, and some healthy—by testing the…

This study aims to understand how the brain changes and adapts in various neurological conditions and during normal aging. Researchers will use advanced, high-powered MRI scans to look at brain structure, function, and energy use in 700 participants, including people with disease…
