This trial tests if a single infusion of allopregnanolone (a natural brain chemical) can help people with PTSD reduce fear responses and improve memory processing. It may offer a new way to treat PTSD by targeting how the brain stores traumatic memories.
This trial tests whether deep brain stimulation, a surgery that uses a small device to send electrical pulses to specific brain areas, can help people with severe PTSD that hasn't improved after trying several treatments. It aims to see if this approach is safe and effective for long-lasting symptoms.
This study tests a new therapy that uses short-term recall and reprocessing to help people with severe PTSD. It may help you if you have strong PTSD symptoms and are not currently in crisis or have certain other mental health conditions.
This Phase 3 study tests whether low-dose clonidine can reduce PTSD symptoms and especially nightmares in U.S. veterans. You’d be screened for PTSD severity and current treatments, then asked to visit the clinic as scheduled to see if the treatment helps.
