Brain stimulation for anxiety in veterans
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests a gentle, non-invasive brain stimulation technique called tACS to see if it can help reduce anxiety in veterans. You would receive daily sessions of this stimulation over the scalp for several weeks.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be a U.S. military veteran.
- You must be able to speak and understand English.
- You must be 70 years old or younger.
- You must have had at least moderate anxiety in the past week, as measured by a standard questionnaire.
- If you are taking antidepressants, they must have been at a steady dose for at least 4 weeks.
- If you could become pregnant, you must use effective birth control and have a negative pregnancy test before starting.

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 trial tests if a combination of non-invasive brain stimulation (tDCS) and virtual reality meditation can reduce anxiety in people with Generalized Anxiety Disorder or related conditions. It aims to find a new, non-medication way to help manage symptoms.
This study uses two non-invasive brain tools — transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and functional MRI — to see how the brain's startle response works in people with anxiety. You will not receive a drug; the goal is to learn more about brain circuits involved in anxiety.
This study tests whether a gentle, non-invasive brain stimulation technique (tACS) can help people who have both generalized anxiety and long-term sleep problems. It aims to see if this treatment can reduce anxiety and improve sleep.
This study uses brain scans and a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) to help reduce PTSD symptoms in veterans. You may be eligible if you have ongoing PTSD symptoms and are on stable medication.
This study tests a gentle brain stimulation method called High-Definition Transcranial Electrical Stimulation (HD-tES) to see if it can help reduce anxiety symptoms in people with Generalized Anxiety Disorder. It uses small electrodes on the scalp to deliver mild electrical currents to areas of the brain involved in anxiety, without surgery or major side effects.
