This study aims to examine the long-term effect of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS), a non-invasive brain stimulation technique, on chronic headaches following mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI). rTMS has been shown to be effective in reducing chronic headaches without side effects commonly seen in medications, such as sleepiness and addiction. This study uses rTMS to manage chronic headaches to improve post-concussion symptoms and reduce the economic burden due to delayed recovery. This project aims to better identify biomarkers for diagnosis and prognosis and maximize recovery from mTBI.

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| Moderate-dose rTMS | Active Comparator | 12 sessions (1 session/day, 3 days/week for 4 weeks) of active rTMS |
|
| Sham rTMS | Sham Comparator | 12 sessions (1 session/day, 3 days/week for 4 weeks) of sham rTMS will be administered at the same location and duration as the Moderate-rTMS protocol. After the study is completed, participants will be offered an opportunity to receive active rTMS. |
|
| High-dose rTMS | Active Comparator | 24 sessions (4 sessions/day, 3 days/week for 2 weeks) of active rTMS |
|
| Low-dose rTMS | Active Comparator | 6 sessions (1 session/day, 3 days/week for 2 weeks) of active rTMS |
|
| Name | Type | Description | Arm Group Labels | Other Names |

| Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation | Device | rTMS will be used to regulate the motor cortex to reduce headaches and post-concussion symptoms. |
|
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Daily headache diary | Composite headache score will be calculated as average intensity (NRS) × average frequency (episode/day) × average duration (hours/episode). | daily documentation throughout the treatment course (4 weeks) |
| Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) | The PROMIS questionnaires with subsections of 1) pain interference, 2) pain behavior will be used as patient-reported outcomes of pain and sleep. For all subsections, on a scale of 1 to 5, higher numbers indicate worse outcomes. | baseline, immediately post-treatment (completion of rTMS), 1-month follow-up, 3-month follow-up, 6-month follow-up |
| Protein expression | Peripheral blood will be collected to measure protein expression | baseline, immediately post-treatment (completion of rTMS) |
| Neurophysiological measures by TMS | Neurophysiology will be measured by TMS to indicate changes in brain function. | baseline, immediately post-treatment (completion of rTMS) |
| Headache impact test 6 (HIT-6) | The HIT-6 will be used to assess the impact of headaches on one's ability to function in occupational and social lives. On a scale of 36 to 78, higher numbers indicate worse outcomes. | baseline, immediately post-treatment (completion of rTMS), 1-month follow-up, 3-month follow-up, 6-month follow-up |
| Post-Concussion Symptom Scale (PCSS) | The change in global post-concussion symptoms will be measured by the PCSS. On a scale of 1 to 5, higher numbers indicate worse outcomes. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Wrist actigraphy - sleep quality | Kinematic assessments by the wrist actigraphy will be worn to measure sleep quality. | baseline, immediately post-treatment (completion of rTMS) |
