Brain imaging and stimulation study for Veterans
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study uses special MRI scans and brain stimulation to understand and potentially help with certain conditions. It is only open to military Veterans who can safely undergo MRI.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be a military Veteran.
- You must be 18 years or older and speak English.
- You must be able to safely have an MRI (no metal implants or devices like pacemakers or shrapnel).
- You must not have had a head injury with loss of consciousness, seizures, or take medicines that lower your seizure threshold.
- You must not have a neurological or uncontrolled medical condition, active substance abuse, or be pregnant/breastfeeding.

This study tests if a type of brain stimulation (TMS) can improve brain function in people with depression. It also includes a small group of epilepsy patients who are already having brain monitoring. The goal is to find new ways to treat depression by targeting specific brain areas.
This study uses non-invasive brain stimulation (like TMS) and EEG brain recordings to measure how the brain’s “reward” system works in people with major depression. It may help researchers understand which stimulation approaches best affect depression-related reward processing.
This trial tests whether a non-surgical brain stimulation technique (rTMS) can reduce depression symptoms in adults with major depression. You would likely have several study visits that include brain scans (MRI) and treatment sessions to see if symptoms improve.
This trial tests an alternating combination of brain stimulation and brain imaging to see if it helps people with depression that hasn’t improved with usual treatments. The goal is to find a safer, more effective approach for people whose depression has been very difficult to treat.
This study uses brain imaging (MRI) and a brain-stimulation method (TMS) to understand and possibly change brain patterns linked with low mood. You may be eligible if you have moderate to severe depression symptoms and can safely complete the scans and stimulation sessions.
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.
