NCT ID NCT06203717
First seen Nov 05, 2025 · Last updated May 08, 2026 · Updated 25 times
Summary
This study looked at whether active-duty firefighters could use a small device at home that sends a mild electrical current through the head (cranial electrotherapy stimulation, or CES) to improve mood and prevent PTSD. Thirteen firefighters used the device for four weeks and reported on their feelings of depression, anxiety, and fatigue. The main goal was to see if using CES at home was practical and acceptable for this group.
