Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) is effective in the cognitive rehabilitation of patients with diffuse axonal injury(DAI) after Traumatic Brain Injury(TBI).

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Active Coil

The patients assigned to this group will undergo repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation over 10 sessions (each one with 2,000 pulses) on left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Active Coil

Intervention Type OTHER

The patients will undergo 10 sessions (2,000 pulses each, lasting 20 minutes) of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation over the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex with the following parameters: 10Hz, 50 trains (40 pulses on each train), biphasic wave, 25 seconds between the trains.

Sham

The patients assigned to this group will undergo 10 sessions of rTMS but with an inactive coil, which will not generate electromagnetic pulses.

Group Type SHAM_COMPARATOR

Sham

Intervention Type OTHER

The patients assigned to this group will undergo 10 sessions of rTMS but with an inactive coil, which will not generate electromagnetic pulses.
