Building resilience in older adults with PTSD
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This trial tests if a HeartMath-based program can help older adults improve resilience, reduce posttraumatic stress, and boost spiritual and psychosocial well-being. It may be an option if you are 60 or older and have experienced trauma.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests a brain stimulation method to help prevent PTSD in people who recently experienced a traumatic event and have high stress symptoms. It aims to build resilience and reduce the risk of long-term PTSD.
This trial looks at how resilience (how well people cope with stress) and brain health change over time in older adults who already joined an earlier study. You may be eligible if you participated in that “parent study.”
This study tests a treatment plan for insomnia (trouble sleeping) in older adults who also have post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The goal is to see whether improving sleep also supports heart and metabolic health (such as blood sugar and heart-related measures).
