Brain-guided magnetic stimulation for post-traumatic stress disorder
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 18 and 65 years old.
- You must have a current diagnosis of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
- You must not have metal implants or devices in your body that are not safe for MRI.
- You must not have had a stroke, seizure, or significant brain injury in the past.
- You must be able to attend daily treatment sessions Monday through Friday.
- You must not be pregnant or currently using certain medications (like high-dose Wellbutrin or lithium).

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 brain-stimulation treatment called TMS to see if it improves how people with PTSD unlearn fear and form safer memories. It may help reduce fear responses by targeting specific fear-circuit areas in the brain.
This study uses MRI brain scans and a noninvasive brain stimulation (TMS) to better understand PTSD in the brain. It may help researchers identify brain patterns linked to PTSD and how brain stimulation affects them.
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 study tests a new 5-day treatment for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) that uses magnetic pulses to stimulate the brain. It aims to help veterans who still have symptoms despite their current treatment.
This trial tests whether transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) can help reduce PTSD symptoms in teenagers and young adults. You'll get 10 TMS sessions over a month after completing at least 9 therapy sessions for PTSD.
