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 study tests if a non-invasive device that gently stimulates a nerve in the neck can help reduce PTSD symptoms. You'll receive the stimulation during sessions and share your feedback.
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 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 a type of brain stimulation (called accelerated neuromodulation) to see if it can help veterans who have both PTSD and chronic pain. It uses a device placed on the scalp to gently stimulate brain areas linked to these conditions, with the goal of reducing symptoms.
This study tests if a non-invasive brain stimulation technique can reduce pain in people with chronic pain conditions like fibromyalgia, headaches, or pain that started after COVID-19. It is looking for healthy people and people with ongoing pain to see if the treatment helps.
