TMS for PTSD in teens and young adults
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This trial tests whether transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) can help reduce PTSD symptoms in teenagers and young adults. You'll get 10 TMS sessions over a month after completing at least 9 therapy sessions for PTSD.

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 TMS treatment for PTSD, guided by brain imaging (fMRI). It aims to help people who have depression symptoms alongside PTSD.
This study tests a new non-invasive brain stimulation technique called temporal interference stimulation to help reduce PTSD symptoms. If you have PTSD that's lasted at least 3 months, this trial may help you or contribute to better treatments for others.
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 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.
