Brain stimulation added to EMDR for PTSD
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called iTBS (theta-burst stimulation) can help EMDR therapy work better for PTSD. It adds brain stimulation sessions before or during EMDR therapy to see if it speeds up recovery.

This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called TMS can help reduce intrusive memories in people with PTSD. It uses MRI to guide the stimulation, and you will be randomly assigned to receive either active TMS or a placebo-like treatment.
This study tests a type of brain stimulation called TMS combined with a medication called D-cycloserine to see if it helps reduce PTSD symptoms in military veterans. It may offer a new treatment option for those who haven't found relief from standard therapies.
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 study tests a noninvasive brain stimulation method called iTBS to see if it can help people with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). You would receive the treatment and be monitored for changes in your symptoms.
This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called cTBS can help people with PTSD learn to overcome fear. You will have brain scans and receive stimulation to see if it improves how your brain processes fear-related memories.
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.
