Neuromodulatory Treatments for Pain Management in Complex TBI - Clinical Trial

We are doing this study to learn more about improving the quality of treatments for veterans with TBI and pain, using non-pharmacological (non-medication) treatments called 'neuromodulatory' treatments.  

These treatments are intended to reduce pain by helping you learn how to increase physical and psychological relaxation.
