Theta Burst Stimulation for Post-Traumatic Headache
Study Summary
This trial is testing whether a brain stimulation technique called theta burst stimulation can help to reduce chronic headaches caused by a traumatic brain injury. The treatment involves having magnets placed on the head to create electrical impulses and stimulate the brain. The hope is that this will help to retrain the brain and reduce pain symptoms. The trial will last for 3 months.

"This trial will be measured across four stages: Baseline, pre-intervention (2 weeks post baseline), post-intervention (4 weeks after pre-intervention) and follow up (1 month from post intervention). The primary outcome to be assessed is Ecological Momentary Assessment of Headache Frequency, Intensity and Impairment. Secondary objectives include assessing changes in moods via Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI) rated on a 4 point scale, PTSD Checklist for DSM - V(PCL 5) scored on a 5 point rating scale, as well as Risk Task which is conducted through a computerized behavioural intervention."
