This study combines a gentle brain stimulation technique (tDCS) with a writing therapy to see if it helps reduce PTSD symptoms in military personnel who also have a mild to moderate traumatic brain injury (TBI).
This trial tests whether a type of brain stimulation (rTMS) combined with a structured writing therapy can reduce PTSD symptoms in veterans. It may help by boosting how the brain processes traumatic memories while you work through them in writing.
This trial tests whether brain health and wellness classes can help veterans who have had multiple mild traumatic brain injuries and also have PTSD. The classes aim to improve cognitive symptoms like memory and attention.
This study uses MRI brain scans and a noninvasive brain stimulation (TMS) to better understand PTSD in the brain. It may help researchers identify brain patterns linked to PTSD and how brain stimulation affects them.
This trial studies whether brain stimulation plus targeted brain rehabilitation can improve symptoms after a mild concussion (mTBI). You may be invited if your concussion happened at least 3 months ago and your symptoms are affecting thinking or mood, with or without PTSD.
This trial tests whether a non-drug brain stimulation treatment (rTMS) can reduce symptoms of PTSD in veterans who were exposed to post-9/11 combat trauma. It may help by improving PTSD symptoms, but you must meet safety rules—especially related to seizure risk.
