Combined Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation and Therapy for MTBI Related Headaches
Sponsor: Veterans Medical Research Foundation
Summary
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.

Interventions
Active rTMS
Active rTMS will be given at the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex with a double blind TMS coil.
Headache Management Therapy
Therapy will be provided on headache management.
Sham rTMS
Sham rTMS will be given at the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex. All parameters of the treatment will appear identical to the active treatment, with only the rTMS coil used to administer the treatment flipped 180 degrees to prevent stimulation.
Headache Education Control
In the control, educational sessions on headaches will be provided.
