Targeting Neuroplasticity for Persistent Post-Concussive Cognitive Symptoms: A Trial of tDCS and Cognitive Training 3-12 Months Post-mTBI

Status: Recruiting

This study is looking at a new, non-invasive treatment approach for people who continue to have symptoms after a mild traumatic brain injury (such as a concussion). The treatment combines gentle brain stimulation with cognitive training exercises. The goal of the study is to see whether this combined approach can help improve thinking, memory, and overall daily functioning in individuals with persistent post-concussion symptoms.
