Brain training with fMRI feedback for PTSD symptoms
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This trial tests a multi-session brain-training approach that uses MRI scans to help teach your brain patterns in PTSD. If you qualify, you’ll attend several sessions and the study team will look at whether symptoms improve.

This study tests a new therapy called SMART, which uses brain imaging to help regulate arousal linked to PTSD. It aims to see if combining brain feedback with therapy reduces PTSD symptoms.
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 study tests a computer-based memory training program for people with PTSD. It aims to see if this training can help reduce PTSD symptoms by improving how your brain processes memories. The study involves 8 remote sessions over 4 weeks and two MRI scans to look at brain changes.
This study looks at how a specific type of talk therapy affects the way your brain processes rewards. You'd join a group that either starts therapy right away or waits a bit before starting. Your brain activity will be scanned with an MRI to see changes.
This study tests whether a brain-training technique called neurofeedback can help people with certain anxiety disorders learn to change how they think about upsetting situations. Participants will do thinking exercises while an MRI machine measures their brain activity, which helps them see if they are using the right coping strategies.
This study tests whether real-time brain imaging (fMRI) can help people with depression learn to change their brain activity. You will receive feedback on your brain signals while thinking positive or neutral thoughts.
