Forgetting fear: new study aims to erase traumatic memories before they stick
NCT ID NCT05560113
First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 23, 2026 · Updated 25 times
Summary
This study explores a non-invasive way to weaken fear memories soon after a traumatic event, potentially lowering the risk of developing PTSD. Researchers will use brain imaging and mild sensory stimulation in 66 adults (some with PTSD) to see if they can disrupt how the brain stores fearful experiences. If successful, this could lead to a new early intervention for trauma survivors.
