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.
