Brain stimulation for fast relief of PTSD
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma, Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests a rapid, non-invasive brain stimulation treatment to reduce PTSD symptoms. It aims to offer a faster way to help adults with PTSD feel better.

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 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 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 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 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 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.
