First seen Feb 03, 2026 · Last updated May 12, 2026 · Updated 14 times

Summary

This study tests if a simple injection of dextrose (sugar water) into the neck can reduce anxiety, brain fog, and depression in people with PTSD who haven't improved with standard treatments. Fifty adults who have tried at least two medications and two non-drug therapies will receive either dextrose or a placebo (saline) injection. The goal is to see if this approach can ease symptoms and improve quality of life.
