Study Summary
Persistent headache is one of the most common debilitating symptoms in military personnel suffering from mild traumatic brain injury (MTBI). This study aims to assess the long-term effect of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) in managing MTBI related headaches for up to 2-3 months by comparing the treatment effect of active-rTMS to sham-rTMS.
Primary Outcome
The outcome measure will be quantified through the headache diary log that tracks the intensity, frequency and duration of MTBI-headaches (MTBI-HA). Baseline data includes all logs from the start of the study until the start of treatment. Post-intervention data looked at the time between the 3-month follow-up and the previous visit.
Interventions
- DEVICE Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation
- DIAGNOSTIC_TEST Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
- DEVICE Sham Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation
