Study Summary
The primary aim of this study is to assess the magnitude of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) -induced cognitive and functional change in patients with mild traumatic brain injury. This study will also attempt to identify biomarkers associated with treatment response. Last, acceptability and tolerability of procedures will be assessed. To accomplish these aims, a randomized, double-blind, sham-controlled, parallel groups, pilot study will be conducted in which participants are assigned to 24 sessions of tDCS or sham stimulation offered concurrent with working memory training. Neural efficiency will be measured with electroencephalogram (EEG) pre and post-intervention.
