Nitric oxide and blood vessel function in women with PTSD
Part of Injuries & trauma, Mental health clinical trials.

This study looks at how the body’s stress system works in veterans with PTSD compared with veterans without PTSD. You may be asked about blood pressure, lifestyle, and health conditions to see whether the study measures differences that could help future treatment.
This trial tests if a single infusion of allopregnanolone (a natural brain chemical) can help people with PTSD reduce fear responses and improve memory processing. It may offer a new way to treat PTSD by targeting how the brain stores traumatic memories.
This study tests a non-invasive device that stimulates the vagus nerve (a major nerve in your neck) to help reduce PTSD symptoms. The device is worn on the skin and may help ease trauma-related stress and anxiety.
This study tests a watch-like device called NightWare that helps reduce nightmares in women with PTSD to see if it also improves heart health. Participants will use the device at night, and researchers will check blood vessel function and other heart-related measures.
This study tests whether a medicine called propranolol can help women who have experienced severe violence and now have post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). It aims to reduce symptoms by reactivating traumatic memories while taking the medicine.
