Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation for the Treatment of Deficits After Traumatic Brain Injury

University of New Mexico·interventional·Posted Nov 25, 2015·Updated Oct 6, 2023

In Brief

A clinical study evaluating Anodal tDCS and Cognitive training for Traumatic Brain Injury and 3 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 40 participants across 1 site.

Detailed Summary

Patients with mild-moderate traumatic brain injury (TBI) sustained between 3 months and 5 years ago with prolonged postconcussive symptoms will be recruited. On Day 1 of the study they will undergo neuropsychological (NP) testing. They will then undergo 10 days of Left dorsolateral prefrontal (DLPFC) anodal transcranial direct current stimulation (TDCS) (active or sham) combined with cognitive training. On day 10 NP testing will be obtained again. On Day 30, NP testing will be repeated a 3rd time. At 6 months and 1 year, quality of life, depression, and post concussive symptoms will be assessed.

Interventions

Anodal tDCSdevice

Anodal tDCS lowers neuronal membrane potentials, leading to increased probability of depolarization from incoming stimuli.

Cognitive trainingbehavioral

Cognitive training involves solving executive function tasks on a computer.
