Neuromodulation and Neurorehabilitation for Treatment of Functional Deficits After mTBI and PTSD
This study will determine (i) the magnitude of immediate and sustained effects of a current clinical standard interactive computer attention processing training (APT) when combined with intermittent theta burst stimulation (iTBS), a type of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation and (ii) determine how APT + iTBS changes the neurocognitive system of attention in individuals with persistent attention deficits related to mTBI +/- PTSD.
• At least 18 years of age and no older than 80 years of age
• 3 months post exposure to mTBI event
• Have a history of mTBI with PTSD OR mTBI without PTSD as defined by formalized measures to classify mTBI based on the Symptom Attribution and Classification Algorithm (SACA) and the PTSD Module L of the SCID
• Endorse at least moderate severity on at least one of the four cognitive complaints in the Neurobehavioral Symptom Inventory
