Read our Post Traumatic Stress Disorder research guide →This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This study is testing a new approach to transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), which is a non-invasive treatment that uses magnetic pulses to stimulate parts of the brain. Instead of using the traditional method to determine the right dose for you, this trial uses real-time brain imaging to personalize your treatment and make sure you're getting the dose that works best for your specific brain.
Currently, doctors use an indirect method to figure out the right dose of this treatment, which can sometimes lead to giving patients the wrong amount. This trial is trying to solve that problem by using direct brain imaging to see exactly how your brain is responding, so the treatment can be tailored just for you.

You would visit the research clinic to receive TMS treatment guided by real-time brain imaging. Some of your sessions would be with active stimulation (the real treatment) and some would be with sham stimulation (a placebo) — you wouldn't know which is which. The researchers will use the brain imaging data to personalize how strong your treatment is, aiming to find the best dose for your specific needs.
