Participants will do thinking exercises while an MRI machine measures their brain activity, which helps them see if they are using the right coping strategies.
This study tests a new therapy called SMART, which uses brain imaging to help regulate arousal linked to PTSD. It aims to see if combining brain feedback with therapy reduces PTSD symptoms.
This study tests a new kind of treatment for PTSD that uses a special brain training system called neurofeedback. You will learn to change your own brain activity in sessions that use EEG sensors on your head, and the goal is to reduce your PTSD symptoms without medication or talk therapy.
This study tests a gentle brain stimulation technique to see if it can improve the benefits of a type of talk therapy called exposure and response prevention (ERP) for OCD. It may help reduce your OCD symptoms.
This trial tests a new type of noninvasive brain stimulation called temporal interference stimulation for people with OCD. It may help reduce symptoms when standard medications have not worked well enough.
