Headache clinical trials at UCSD
4 in progress, 2 open to eligible people
Combined Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation and Therapy for mTBI Related Headaches
open to eligible people ages 18-65
This study will assess the combined effectiveness of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) and telehealth based therapy in helping manage mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) related headaches. The investigators hypothesize that active rTMS combined with telehealth therapy will provide marked reduction in mTBI related headaches and symptoms in comparison to their placebo counterparts.

Managing MTBI-related Headaches With rTMS
Sorry, in progress, not accepting new patients
Persistent headache is one of the most common debilitating symptoms in military personnel suffering from mild traumatic brain injury (MTBI). This study aims to assess the long-term effect of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) in managing MTBI related headaches for up to 2-3 months by comparing the treatment effect of active-rTMS to sham-rTMS.
