Study Summary

A novel and promising therapy for cognitive dysfunction is non-invasive brain stimulation, of which transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a form. TMS is currently FDA-approved for use in depression and migraine. It is under investigation for use in a number of other neurologic and psychiatric disorders. In addition to its potential to improve affective symptoms, recent research has suggested that TMS targeted to select cortical regions can also improve cognition. In trials of TMS therapy for psychiatric disorders, several studies have shown benefits for cognitive function alongside symptom amelioration. In healthy persons, a course of stimulation of the parietal area improved objective measures of learning and memory. Among persons with TBI, there have been case reports supporting improvement in cognitive function and postconcussive symptoms; however, there have not yet been any controlled studies of TMS for TBI-related cognitive dysfunction.
