Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine whether repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) is effective in the cognitive rehabilitation of patients with diffuse axonal injury(DAI) after Traumatic Brain Injury(TBI).

Conditions

Interventions

OTHER

Active Coil

The patients will undergo 10 sessions (2,000 pulses each, lasting 20 minutes) of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation over the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex with the following parameters: 10Hz, 50 trains (40 pulses on each train), biphasic wave, 25 seconds between the trains.

OTHER

Sham

The patients assigned to this group will undergo 10 sessions of rTMS but with an inactive coil, which will not generate electromagnetic pulses.
