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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 non-invasive brain treatment called TMS, which uses magnetic pulses to stimulate brain areas involved in PTSD, along with a medication called D-cycloserine that may help the treatment work better. It is designed for current or former military members with PTSD.
This trial tests whether a type of brain stimulation called iTBS (which uses magnetic pulses) added to a standard PTSD therapy (EMDR) helps reduce PTSD symptoms more than EMDR alone. It involves 16 weeks of treatment and requires some commitments like avoiding alcohol.
This study tests a personalized form of transcranial magnetic stimulation (a non-invasive brain stimulation that uses magnetic pulses) to see if it can help reduce PTSD symptoms in veterans. The treatment is tailored to each person's brain activity, which may make it more effective than standard approaches.
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 new type of brain stimulation called TMS (transcranial magnetic stimulation) that is guided by brain scans to help reduce PTSD symptoms. It is individualized for each participant and aims to improve how well the treatment works.
