Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is increasingly used off-label for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), often applying protocols developed for depression. While prior studies suggest high-frequency TMS can improve PTSD symptoms, few have been adequately powered to compare protocols. We examined whether three common TMS protocols yield…
PTSD is both prevalent and debilitating. While Deep TMS has shown preliminary efficacy, exposure therapy remains the most efficacious, though limited, treatment in PTSD. The medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) is implicated in extinction learning, suggesting that concurrent mPFC stimulation may enhance exposure therapy. Objective: This randomized controlled multicenter trial set out…
TMS holds promise for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD); while recent randomized controlled trials have provided mixed evidence (e.g., [4–6]), large-scale effectiveness data strongly supports the use of standard TMS for those who have PTSD comorbid with MDD. Objective: This study examined the…
PTSD patients have hypo-activity in the mPFC during traumatic recall. Stimulating the mPFC with dTMS after an individualized traumatic script was effective in decreasing PTSD symptoms in a double blinded placebo-controlled study. Objective: A retrospective case series treating patients with PTSD comorbid with severe depression who were ineligible for a…

The background highlights the challenges faced by veterans with TRD, suicide risk, and PTSD symptoms, emphasizing the need for effective and durable treatment options. Objective: The primary objective is to assess the durability of deep transcranial magnetic stimulation in improving symptoms of…
Some of trauma-exposed individuals develop posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), an incapacitating psychiatric disorder that is characterized by intrusion, avoidance, negative changes in mood and cognition, and hyperarousal. A number of other trauma-related conditions are very frequently found in individuals with PTSD. Traumatic…
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a debilitating anxiety disorder induced by traumaticexperiences. To date, psychotherapy and drug treatment achieve only partial success, indicating need for further development of treatment strategies. Recent research has found that impaired acquired fear extinction capability serves as…
