Zap to heal trauma? brain stim tested for PTSD

NCT ID NCT02900053

Summary

This study tested whether a mild, non-invasive brain stimulation technique called tDCS could improve the results of standard trauma-focused talk therapy for people with chronic Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). It involved 63 adults who had PTSD for 3 months to 10 years. Researchers compared therapy alone to therapy enhanced with tDCS to see if the combination led to a greater reduction in PTSD symptoms.
