Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
The purpose of this study is to address the need for targeted treatments that induce functional and structural changes in the brain, ultimately improving neurobehavioral functioning, the investigators propose examining the therapeutic effectiveness of repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS). The objective is to improve functional recovery for persons remaining in vegetative (VS) and minimally conscious (MCS) states 3 to 24 months after severe TBI. The approach is to determine the neurobehavioral effect of rTMS, the relationship between neurobehavioral changes and net neural effects, and to identify and define the neural mechanisms related to neurobehavioral improvements by providing 30 active or placebo rTMS sessions.
