Summary
This study tested whether transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) — a non-invasive treatment that uses magnetic fields to stimulate specific brain areas — can improve daily functioning in veterans with PTSD. Researchers compared real TMS to a sham (fake) treatment in 59 veterans. The goal was to see if TMS could reduce PTSD symptoms and help veterans get back to normal activities.
