The complex clinical presentation of patients with mild traumatic brain injury and chronic pain (mTBI+CP) often causes symptoms that are resistant to standard treatments. For the first time, our team combined intermittent theta burst stimulation and yoga (iTBS+LYB) to maximize treatment effect and promote functional recovery in a pilot open-label clinical trial among Veterans with mTBI+CP. A 3-minute iTBS protocol was delivered including 3 pulses of stimulation given at 50Hz, repeated every 200ms at 80% of the resting MT, with an inter-pulse-interval of 20ms. A 2s train of iTBS was repeated every 10s for a total of 190s, for a total of 600 pulses. After all participants received iTBS, a certified yoga instructor guided a 90-minute group LYB session. N=19 participants were enrolled; 71.4% (10/14) completed all 6 iTBS+LYB sessions. Three individuals experienced headaches, a known side effect of iTBS, which resulted in one participant self-withdrawing. iTBS+LYB for mTBI+CP is feasible and safe, with known side effects.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
