Scientists try to erase traumatic memories before PTSD develops

NCT ID NCT05560113

Summary

This study is testing whether a gentle, non-invasive brain stimulation technique can weaken the formation of fear memories right after a distressing experience. Researchers at Emory University are enrolling 66 people to see if this approach can reduce the risk of developing Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). The goal is to create a potential early intervention that could be used shortly after trauma occurs.
