Personalized brain stimulation for PTSD in veterans
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
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.

This study tests different patterns of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) to see how they affect brain and body functions in people with both PTSD and major depression. It aims to find the best way to use this non-invasive treatment to help improve symptoms.
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 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 if personalized brain stimulation guided by your brain waves (EEG) can reduce PTSD symptoms. It's for veterans and first responders who have had PTSD for at least 6 months.
This study uses brain scans and a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) to help reduce PTSD symptoms in veterans. You may be eligible if you have ongoing PTSD symptoms and are on stable medication.
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.
