Accelerated brain stimulation for PTSD and depression
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests an accelerated form of brain stimulation called iTBS to see if it can help people with both PTSD and depression. It may be a good option if you have not found enough relief from your current treatments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You have both post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and major depressive disorder (MDD).
- Your symptoms are at least moderate (based on a depression or PTSD rating scale).
- You have been on the same medication or therapy for at least 4 weeks and can stay on it during the study.
- You do not have metal implants, a history of seizures, or other reasons that would make brain stimulation unsafe.
- You do not have a current psychotic disorder, bipolar disorder, or a recent substance use problem.

This study tests an accelerated form of iTBS (a non-invasive brain stimulation technique) for depression that hasn't improved with antidepressant medications. The goal is to help people with major depression who haven't responded adequately to at least one antidepressant drug.
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 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 trial tests a new way of delivering a non-invasive brain stimulation treatment called iTBS for depression. The treatment is personalized based on brain scans, and the study aims to see if it can help reduce depressive symptoms.
This trial tests a new form of brain stimulation called iTBS (a type of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation) that is personalized for each person, compared to a sham (inactive) treatment. It aims to see if this personalized approach can safely reduce symptoms of depression.
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.
