First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This small study tested whether transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) can lower blood pressure and ease PTSD symptoms in women aged 18-44 who have both conditions. Four participants received 30 TMS sessions over 6 weeks. Researchers measured changes in 24-hour blood pressure and PTSD symptoms before and after treatment.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a non-drug treatment that helps both PTSD symptoms and high blood pressure in women.
What could go wrong
This was a very small early study with only 4 participants, so results may not apply to others. It is not yet known if TMS is effective for this purpose.
