What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Summary

This study tests a personalized, noninvasive brain stimulation technique called TMS for people aged 18–65 with chronic symptoms after a mild concussion or traumatic brain injury. Symptoms like headache, dizziness, brain fog, and anxiety can last for months. Participants will receive either active or sham TMS over 10 sessions, and researchers will track changes in brain connectivity, symptoms, and daily function for up to two months after treatment.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a new, noninvasive treatment option for people with long-lasting symptoms after a concussion.
What could go wrong
This is a mid-stage trial with only 75 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The sham group helps check for placebo effects, and the treatment may not work for all symptoms.
