Brain imaging and stimulation study for PTSD in veterans
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a veteran between 18 and 80 years old.
- You have a PTSD diagnosis with symptoms scoring 31 or higher on the PCL-5 questionnaire.
- You speak English fluently.
- You have been taking the same psychiatric medications for at least one month.
- You do not have any implanted electrical devices like a pacemaker.
- You are not pregnant and do not have any condition that makes MRI unsafe.

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 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 tests a personalized form of transcranial magnetic stimulation (a non-invasive brain stimulation that uses magnetic pulses) to see if it can help reduce PTSD symptoms in veterans. The treatment is tailored to each person's brain activity, which may make it more effective than standard approaches.
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 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 trial tests whether a non-drug brain stimulation treatment (rTMS) can reduce symptoms of PTSD in veterans who were exposed to post-9/11 combat trauma. It may help by improving PTSD symptoms, but you must meet safety rules—especially related to seizure risk.
