Eye tests to predict PTSD treatment response in veterans
Part of Mental health clinical trials.

This study tests a new therapy using augmented reality (a type of headset that adds digital images to what you see) to help treat posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in current or former military members. The therapy aims to make exposure therapy more effective by letting you face trauma-related situations in a controlled, virtual way.
This trial tests a study medicine that blocks the effects of cortisol (a stress hormone) to reduce PTSD symptoms in Veterans. It’s meant for people with ongoing PTSD symptoms and stable treatments, and it closely checks safety because the medicine can affect sleep, mood, and heart rhythm.
This study tests if a short, intensive PTSD treatment can help reduce psychological and cognitive symptoms. It is for current military personnel with PTSD or symptoms that are close to meeting the full diagnosis.
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 a special eye test (like a quick vision check) to see how well antidepressants are working in people with depression. It may help doctors find ways to track treatment progress without asking patients how they feel.
This study tests a new kind of treatment for PTSD that uses a special brain training system called neurofeedback. You will learn to change your own brain activity in sessions that use EEG sensors on your head, and the goal is to reduce your PTSD symptoms without medication or talk therapy.
