High-Definition Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (HD-tDCS) for Sensory Deficits in Complex Traumatic Brain Injury

University of New Mexico·interventional·Posted Jan 10, 2019·Updated Apr 8, 2025

In Brief

A clinical study evaluating Active High-definition transcranial direct current stimulation (HD-tDCS) and Sham High-definition transcranial direct current stimulation (HD-tDCS) for Mild Traumatic Brain Injury. Completed, enrolled 79 participants across 1 site.

Detailed Summary

Aim 1: To use magnetoencephalography (MEG) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in Veterans and civilians with mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) and sensory postconcussive symptoms (PCS) to demonstrate the mechanism of therapeutic benefit of HD-tDCS for sensory symptoms, as shown by reliable changes in the activity of the cognitive control network (CCN) and sensory system network (SSN) following stimulation; Aim 2: this intervention will result in long-term improvements in measures of executive function, depression/anxiety, and quality of life.
