Brain response study for epilepsy or PTSD patients
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks at how the brain processes fear using a device already implanted to treat epilepsy or PTSD. It may help researchers understand fear responses and improve treatments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 70 years old
- You have a NeuroPace RNS System surgically placed in your brain to treat epilepsy or post-traumatic stress disorder
- You have good enough eyesight and hearing to complete thinking and memory tests
- You have not had a traumatic brain injury

This study records electrical brain activity to understand how fear and anxiety work in people who already have an RNS (responsive neurostimulation) device placed. It may help researchers develop better ways to monitor and treat anxiety-related symptoms in the future.
This trial tests whether deep brain stimulation, a surgery that uses a small device to send electrical pulses to specific brain areas, can help people with severe PTSD that hasn't improved after trying several treatments. It aims to see if this approach is safe and effective for long-lasting symptoms.
This study tests a new non-invasive brain stimulation technique called temporal interference to help treat psychiatric conditions. Researchers will use MRI scanning and specialized stimulation equipment to see if this approach is safe and helpful.
This study tests a brain-stimulation treatment called TMS to see if it improves how people with PTSD unlearn fear and form safer memories. It may help reduce fear responses by targeting specific fear-circuit areas in the brain.
This early-phase study tests a responsive brain stimulation device to help people with chronic PTSD who have not improved with standard treatments. You would be closely followed for years, with regular assessments and device setting changes to see if symptoms improve.
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.
