Zapping the brain to calm PTSD?

NCT ID NCT05895006

Summary

This study aims to understand how the brain works in people with PTSD and test if a gentle, non-invasive electrical brain stimulation can help calm anxiety and hypervigilance. Researchers will compare 80 healthy adults and 80 people with PTSD, giving some the real stimulation and others a fake version while measuring brain activity. The goal is to gather basic science knowledge about PTSD's brain mechanisms and see if this stimulation could one day become a new treatment approach.
