Veterans with chronic headaches: here’s a chance to help others!

VA researchers have been experimenting with brain stimulation to treat Veterans with brain injuries or mental health conditions such as PTSD. The therapies, most of which are non-invasive, involve activating or calming areas of the brain with electrical, magnetic, or light stimulation.

At VA San Diego, Dr. Albert Leung is leading a trial of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation to treat persistent headaches. Such headaches are often seen in military personnel with concussions. Leung and his team are now recruiting active and retired military personnel who are experiencing chronic persistent headaches from mild TBI. 

Veterans interested in participating in Leung’s research can contact the study team at 858-210-8908.
