Effect of Fixed vs. Tailored Intensity Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation for Attention Deficit After Traumatic Brain Injury: a Single Center, Prospective, Double Blind, Randomized-Controlled Clinical Trial, Pilot Study
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating transcranial direct current stimulation for Traumatic Brain Injury and 2 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 12 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is an important global health concern. Recently, advances in neurocritical care have led to an increase in the number of recovering TBI patients, and concomittantly in the incidence of complications of TBI. One of the most important sequalae of TBI is cognitive deficit, for which multimodal rehabilitation approach is indicated. Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is a promising treatment strategy for post-TBI cognitive deficits. However, a standardized tailored tDCS protocol is yet to be established for TBI patients. Therefore, this trial aims to 1) the efficacy of tDCS on post-TBI cognitive deficits, and 2) and optimized protocol of tDCS on post-TBI cognitive deficits via a three-arm double-blind, randomized controlled trial.
