Personalized brain stimulation for veterans with PTSD
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests a personalized form of transcranial magnetic stimulation (a non-invasive brain stimulation that uses magnetic pulses) to see if it can help reduce PTSD symptoms in veterans. The treatment is tailored to each person's brain activity, which may make it more effective than standard approaches.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be a current or former member of the military (veteran).
- You must be 18 years or older.

This study tests a non-invasive brain stimulation treatment called repeated transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) to see if it can improve PTSD and depression symptoms by changing brain and nervous system function. It compares different rTMS protocols to find which is more effective.
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 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 type of brain stimulation (eTMS) to help reduce PTSD symptoms in veterans and first responders. It uses an MRI to guide the treatment, and aims to see if it can improve your quality of life.
