Study Overview: This research focuses on helping veterans with mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). They're testing a new treatment called non-invasive Vagal Nerve Stimulation (nVNS). This treatment could improve memory and reduce PTSD symptoms.
Key Medical Terms:
- **mTBI (mild Traumatic Brain Injury):** A slight brain injury often from a bump or blow to the head.
- **PTSD (Posttraumatic Stress Disorder):** A mental health condition triggered by experiencing or seeing a traumatic event.
- **nVNS (non-invasive Vagal Nerve Stimulation):** A treatment that stimulates the vagus nerve, which helps control stress and memory, without surgery.
Key Points:
- Participants will receive treatments twice daily for three months.
- Memory and stress responses will be measured using special tests and technology.
- Eligibility includes veterans with mTBI and PTSD; certain medical conditions are excluded.
