This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing a combination treatment for people struggling with attention problems after a mild traumatic brain injury. The treatment pairs computer-based attention training (a program designed to help sharpen focus) with intermittent theta burst stimulation (iTBS), a non-invasive form of brain stimulation delivered through magnetic pulses. Researchers want to see if combining these two approaches works better than either one alone, and how they might help restore attention and thinking abilities.
Many people continue to have trouble concentrating and focusing even months after a mild head injury, and current treatments don't work well enough for everyone. This study explores whether adding brain stimulation to attention training can produce better and longer-lasting improvements in thinking and focus.

If you enroll, you will come in 3 times per week for 10 weeks (30 sessions total), with each session lasting about 1 hour. During each visit, you'll use a computer program designed to train your attention and focus, and you may receive magnetic brain stimulation to a specific area of your brain. Some participants will receive the real brain stimulation while others receive a placebo (sham) version, so neither you nor the researchers will always know which treatment you're getting. The study will assess your thinking abilities before, during, and after the treatment to measure any improvements.
