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.
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 whether a type of brain stimulation called transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) can help reduce PTSD symptoms in people who have recently experienced trauma. It aims to see if TMS can prevent PTSD from becoming long-lasting.
