Brain stimulation for veterans with post-traumatic stress disorder
Treatments studied
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a military veteran or currently serving military personnel.
- You are between 19 and 60 years old.
- You have a confirmed diagnosis of PTSD with moderate to severe symptoms.
- You have not changed or started psychiatric medications in the past 4 weeks.
- You are not currently taking certain medications that could interfere with the treatment.
- You are able to undergo brain MRI and TMS safety screening.

This study tests a combination of a single magnetic brain stimulation session (TMS) and a medication called D-cycloserine (DCS), which may help strengthen positive memories and reduce post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms. It is designed for first responders who have been diagnosed with PTSD and are currently taking stable medications.
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 type of brain stimulation (called accelerated neuromodulation) to see if it can help veterans who have both PTSD and chronic pain. It uses a device placed on the scalp to gently stimulate brain areas linked to these conditions, with the goal of reducing symptoms.
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 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 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.
