Summary

The purpose of this study is to examine the feasibility and preliminary efficacy of using transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation (tVNS) to enhance cognitive recovery in patients with mild-moderate traumatic brain injury (TBI).

Interventions

DEVICE

Transcutaneous auricular vagus active nerve stimulation

In the active stimulation, two electrodes are placed in the cymba conchae of one of the ears, an area thought to be exclusively innervated by the auricular branch of the vagus nerve.

DEVICE

Transcutaneous auricular vagus sham nerve stimulation

In the sham stimulation, the electrodes are placed on the tail of helix, which is free of vagal innervation.
