Neuromodulation and Neuroimaging in Older Children With Mild Traumatic Brain Injury

Sponsor: State University of New York at Buffalo

View on ClinicalTrials.gov

Summary

Mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) often causes persistent motor and cognitive deficits in children resulting in functional limitations. We are testing a brain stimulation method along with evaluating objective tools to help record and restore communication among affected brain areas, which will facilitate recovery in youth after mTBI.

tDCS in Youth with mild traumatic brain injury

The safety and tolerability of tDCS have been established in children with mTBI (1). A recent study of 13-18 year youths post-mTBI showed that three sessions of 1.5 mA anodal tDCS over the left DLPFC, positively influenced prolonged working memory deficits. (2) Additionally, rodent studies show the effectiveness of tDCS in improving cognitive-motor (motor planning and balance/gait) function in rats with mTBI. (3)
