Read our Post Traumatic Stress Disorder research guide โThis study doesn't follow the usual testing phases โ it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This study is testing a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called accelerated TMS (transcranial magnetic stimulation) as a rapid treatment for PTSD. Researchers want to see whether stimulating specific areas of the brain during an intensive one-week treatment can help reduce PTSD symptoms quickly. You would receive daily treatments and then be followed for six months to see how well the treatment works.
Current PTSD treatments like therapy and medication can take weeks or months to help people feel better. This trial is exploring whether this new treatment can provide faster relief by directly stimulating brain regions involved in traumatic stress.

You would start with an intense one-week treatment phase receiving daily brain stimulation sessions. Some participants will receive active treatment to different brain regions, while others receive a sham (fake) treatment so researchers can see what works best. After the first week, everyone gets the active treatment for a second week. Then you'll have follow-up visits at one, three, and six months to assess how you're doing and whether your PTSD symptoms have improved.
