Personalized TMS dosing for PTSD using brain monitoring
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma, Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests a “personalized dosing” approach for transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) in adults with PTSD. It aims to see whether using brain measurements to guide the TMS settings can improve treatment while keeping participants safe.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be between 18 and 70 years old
- Have a confirmed PTSD diagnosis based on the CAPS-5 assessment
- Have not changed PTSD-related meds or supportive therapy (or your care plan) in the last month, and be able to keep it steady during the study
- Be able to understand the study, follow visit instructions, and sign consent
- Not have medical issues that make brain stimulation unsafe, such as certain metal in the head or a seizure disorder
- Be able to complete MRI (for example, not have metal that blocks MRI and can tolerate the scan)

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 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 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 tests a personalized TMS treatment for PTSD, guided by brain imaging (fMRI). It aims to help people who have depression symptoms alongside PTSD.
This study tests a personalized form of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS)—a non-invasive brain stimulation technique—to help treat post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in military veterans and former service members. The goal is to reduce PTSD symptoms by stimulating specific brain areas tailored to each person.
