Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
Behavioral changes following a traumatic brain injury (TBI) are one of the biggest challenges for patients, as well as their family members and others involved in their recovery. One of the most common behavioral changes following TBI is the emergence of impulsive behavior, which has been associated with destructive, suicidal, and aggressive behavior, and is related to poor rehabilitation program adherence. The primary objective of this study is to investigate the effect of a novel neuroplasticity based intervention that combines cognitive training and transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) to reduce impulsivity and to improve outcomes and quality of life for those who have suffered a TBI.
