Description
Alyssa Bernanke and a large team lay out a trial plan in 2024 for veterans with mild brain injury. Suicide is a leading cause of death among veterans, and a mild traumatic brain injury raises the risk of suicidal thoughts. Such injuries also worsen impulsivity, which adds to the danger.
The trial tests a magnetic brain treatment aimed at the front pole of the brain, given in quick bursts. Fifty-six veterans will get the real treatment or a sham version, daily for two weeks. The team will track suicidal thoughts, impulsivity, mood, and daily function, and will interview participants about the experience. This pilot checks safety and acceptability first, to guide a larger trial.
