TMS for PTSD in Veterans
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) as a treatment for PTSD in Veterans. TMS uses magnetic pulses to stimulate brain areas linked to PTSD, aiming to reduce symptoms without medication.

This trial tests an accelerated form of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) given daily for five days to treat PTSD. It may be an option for adults with moderate to severe PTSD who cannot get enough relief from standard treatments.
This study tests a type of brain stimulation called TMS combined with a medication called D-cycloserine to see if it helps reduce PTSD symptoms in military veterans. It may offer a new treatment option for those who haven't found relief from standard therapies.
This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called TMS can help reduce intrusive memories in people with PTSD. It uses MRI to guide the stimulation, and you will be randomly assigned to receive either active TMS or a placebo-like treatment.
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 personalized form of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS)—a non-invasive brain stimulation technique—to help treat post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in military veterans and former service members. The goal is to reduce PTSD symptoms by stimulating specific brain areas tailored to each person.
This study tests a personalized TMS treatment for PTSD, guided by brain imaging (fMRI). It aims to help people who have depression symptoms alongside PTSD.
