Brain stimulation plus writing therapy for PTSD symptoms
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a type of brain stimulation (rTMS) combined with a structured writing therapy can reduce PTSD symptoms in veterans. It may help by boosting how the brain processes traumatic memories while you work through them in writing.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests if combining a safe, non-invasive brain stimulation with a writing therapy can help reduce PTSD symptoms in military personnel and veterans who have had a mild or moderate head injury. The goal is to see if this combination works better than either treatment alone.
This trial tests if adding a type of brain stimulation (TMS) to a memory reactivation therapy can reduce PTSD symptoms that haven't improved with standard antidepressants. If you have persistent PTSD, this study could offer a new treatment option.
This study uses MRI brain scans and a noninvasive brain stimulation (TMS) to better understand PTSD in the brain. It may help researchers identify brain patterns linked to PTSD and how brain stimulation affects them.
This trial tests whether a non-drug brain stimulation treatment (rTMS) can reduce symptoms of PTSD in veterans who were exposed to post-9/11 combat trauma. It may help by improving PTSD symptoms, but you must meet safety rules—especially related to seizure risk.
This study tests a new type of brain stimulation (eTMS) to help reduce PTSD symptoms in veterans and first responders. It uses an MRI to guide the treatment, and aims to see if it can improve your quality of life.
This study uses brain scans and a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) to help reduce PTSD symptoms in veterans. You may be eligible if you have ongoing PTSD symptoms and are on stable medication.
