fMRI-guided TMS for PTSD
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests a personalized TMS treatment for PTSD, guided by brain imaging (fMRI). It aims to help people who have depression symptoms alongside PTSD.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Are between 18 and 65 years old
- Have a formal PTSD diagnosis (per DSM-5 criteria)
- Have a PHQ-9 score of 10 or higher
- No MRI-incompatible implants or devices
- No history of stroke, seizures, or certain neurological conditions

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 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 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.
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 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.
