This study tests a non-invasive device that stimulates the vagus nerve (a major nerve in your neck) to help reduce PTSD symptoms. The device is worn on the skin and may help ease trauma-related stress and anxiety.
This study tests if stimulating the vagus nerve with an implanted device can help adults with chronic PTSD who haven't gotten better with standard treatments. You would have the device implanted and then follow the study plan for several months.
This study tests a combination of virtual reality and gentle nerve stimulation on the face and neck to see if it can improve quality of life for veterans who have both chronic pain and PTSD.
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 trial tests if a virtual reality device that stimulates nerves in the head can reduce chronic pain and PTSD symptoms in veterans. It's a non-drug treatment that you can do at the clinic.
This trial tests whether a noninvasive device that stimulates the vagus nerve through the skin can reduce PTSD symptoms in veterans. It may help calm stress responses without requiring surgery.
