Brain stimulation for PTSD treatment study
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 65 years old
- You are right-handed
- You have been diagnosed with PTSD
- Your PTSD symptoms are considered moderate to severe
- You have been on stable medications for at least 4 weeks
- You can read and understand study materials and give consent

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.
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 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 trial tests whether a type of brain stimulation called iTBS (which uses magnetic pulses) added to a standard PTSD therapy (EMDR) helps reduce PTSD symptoms more than EMDR alone. It involves 16 weeks of treatment and requires some commitments like avoiding alcohol.
This study tests a non-invasive brain stimulation treatment called repeated transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) to see if it can improve PTSD and depression symptoms by changing brain and nervous system function. It compares different rTMS protocols to find which is more effective.
This study tests a new type of brain stimulation called TMS (transcranial magnetic stimulation) that is guided by brain scans to help reduce PTSD symptoms. It is individualized for each participant and aims to improve how well the treatment works.
