Remotely Supervised tDCS for Persistent Post-traumatic Headache — tDCS for PTH  

Mild Traumatic Brain Injury Clinical Trial

Official title:
Remotely Supervised Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation for Persistent Post-traumatic Headache: A Pilot Study

Clinical Trial Summary

This pilot study is designed to provide preliminary data for a large scale, randomized clinical trial to evaluate the efficacy of remotely administrated at home transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) with real-time monitoring via VA Tele-health for persistent post traumatic headache associated with mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI). Participants will receive total of 20 sessions of tDCS over four weeks. The investigators anticipate that the results generated from the study will directly translate into immediate meaningful clinical application: not only in management of chronic post traumatic headache, but also in reduction of acute pain medication use, and improving quality of life for our veterans with this debilitating neurological disorder.

Clinical Trial Description

The aim of this study is to evaluate the feasibility and efficacy of transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) administered at home with real-time monitoring via VA Tele-health for persistent post traumatic headache (PTH) associated with mTBI, and the impact of this treatment on persistent PTH associated functional recovery. Total of 20 participants (10 treatment group, 10 sham control) will be included in this study. The investigators will also evaluate recruitment strategies and participants clinical characteristics. ;
