This study is looking into a new way to help people with persistent post-concussion syndrome (PPCS), which can happen after a mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI). We are testing if combining transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), a non-invasive brain stimulation, with cognitive training can improve thinking skills. All participants will receive 10 sessions of cognitive training focused on executive functions (skills like planning and problem-solving). Some will also receive active tDCS, while others will receive sham tDCS (a placebo version of the stimulation). We want to see if the active tDCS group shows more improvement in executive function after about 3 weeks. You might be able to join if you are 18-65 years old, had a single mTBI 3-12 months ago, and have PPCS.

Study design

This is an interventional study with 30 participants. It compares active tDCS combined with cognitive training to sham tDCS combined with cognitive training.

What's involved

You would participate in 10 sessions of cognitive training over approximately 3 weeks, completed on a lab-provided computer.

Compensation

Not stated in the trial record.

Follow-up

The primary outcome of the study is measured at Week 4.
