PTSD treatment for veterans and service members with a brain injury
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma, Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests a non-trauma therapy for PTSD in veterans and service members who also have a mild or moderate brain injury. It aims to help with PTSD symptoms without focusing on the traumatic event itself.

This study tests if combining a safe, non-invasive brain stimulation with a writing therapy can help reduce PTSD symptoms in military personnel and veterans who have had a mild or moderate head injury. The goal is to see if this combination works better than either treatment alone.
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 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 study tests whether breathing high-pressure oxygen (hyperbaric oxygen therapy) can help veterans who have had a traumatic brain injury (TBI) and are dealing with ongoing issues like memory or concentration problems. It also looks at whether this treatment affects certain markers in the blood that may relate to brain health.
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.
