Brain stimulation for PTSD: a learning study
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called cTBS can help people with PTSD learn to overcome fear. You will have brain scans and receive stimulation to see if it improves how your brain processes fear-related memories.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 60 years old.
- You have been diagnosed with PTSD by a doctor or therapist.
- You do not have any metal implants in your body.
- You are not pregnant or at risk of seizures.
- You can speak and understand English fluently.

This study tests a noninvasive brain stimulation method called iTBS to see if it can help people with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). You would receive the treatment and be monitored for changes in your symptoms.
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.
This trial tests whether non-invasive brain stimulation can improve thinking and memory in veterans who have both a past mild traumatic brain injury and PTSD. You can do the sessions from home with internet access.
This study tests a brain stimulation approach to affect how fear memories “stick” after they are formed. If you have PTSD, it may help reduce fear-related learning, but you must meet several safety and health criteria.
This study tests a new non-invasive brain stimulation technique called temporal interference stimulation to help reduce PTSD symptoms. If you have PTSD that's lasted at least 3 months, this trial may help you or contribute to better treatments for others.
This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called TMS can help reduce intrusive memories in people with PTSD. It uses MRI to guide the stimulation, and you will be randomly assigned to receive either active TMS or a placebo-like treatment.
