Cognitive deficits following a traumatic brain injury (TBI) are a leading cause of disability in young adults and there is a critical need for novel approaches to improve cognitive outcomes in TBI survivors. Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) paired with cognitive remediation has emerged as a viable, cost-effective, noninvasive approach for treating cognitive impairments in a wide variety of neurological conditions. Here, we report the first case study utilizing remotely supervised tDCS (RS-tDCS) protocol paired with cognitive remediation in a 29-year-old man with persisting cognitive and emotional sequelae following TBI.
