Focused ultrasound for PTSD in veterans
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This trial tests if a non-invasive procedure called focused ultrasound can help treat chronic PTSD in veterans. The ultrasound uses sound waves to target a small area in the brain, and researchers will see if it reduces PTSD symptoms.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a veteran between 22 and 70 years old
- You have been diagnosed with chronic PTSD and still have symptoms
- You have not had a seizure, serious brain injury, or brain surgery
- You do not have a pacemaker or metal in your head
- You are not currently dependent on alcohol or drugs (moderate or severe use is not allowed)
- You are able to follow the study procedures and attend all visits

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.
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 transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) as a treatment for PTSD in Veterans. TMS uses magnetic pulses to stimulate brain areas linked to PTSD, aiming to reduce symptoms without medication.
This study tests a personalized form of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS)—a non-invasive brain stimulation technique—to help treat post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in military veterans and former service members. The goal is to reduce PTSD symptoms by stimulating specific brain areas tailored to each person.
This trial tests a new form of brain stimulation (called targeted accelerated TMS) to see if it can help reduce symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). It involves daily sessions over a short period and may be an option if you have at least moderate PTSD symptoms and a stable treatment plan.
This study tests whether a new non-invasive brain treatment called low-intensity focused ultrasound (LIFU) can help reduce PTSD symptoms in healthcare workers. It aims to find out how the treatment works and if it is safe and effective.
