Brain stimulation for veterans with PTSD and chronic pain
Part of Mental health, Pain clinical trials.
This study tests a type of brain stimulation called accelerated neuromodulation for veterans who have both PTSD and chronic pain. The goal is to see if this treatment helps reduce symptoms of both conditions at the same time.

This study tests whether a brain-stimulation headband (called tDCS) combined with a proven talk therapy for PTSD can help reduce both chronic pain and PTSD symptoms. It is for adults who have had chronic pain for at least 6 months and also have PTSD.
This study tests a new type of brain stimulation called TMS (transcranial magnetic stimulation) that is guided by brain scans to help reduce PTSD symptoms. It is individualized for each participant and aims to improve how well the treatment works.
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 a new non-invasive brain stimulation technique called temporal interference stimulation to help reduce PTSD symptoms. If you have PTSD that's lasted at least 3 months, this trial may help you or contribute to better treatments for others.
This study tests a non-invasive brain stimulation treatment (transcranial electrical stimulation) for people who have both depression and chronic pain. It aims to see if this treatment can help improve mood and reduce pain.
This study tests a non-invasive brain stimulation treatment, called transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), to see if it can help people who have both major depression that hasn't improved with medication and chronic pain from fibromyalgia or chronic fatigue syndrome. It aims to reduce both depression and pain symptoms.
