Study Details
Ultrasound Brain Simulation to Treat People with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder
(IRB#: IRB_00173062)
This study is testing a new method of brain stimulation (a small amount of electricity given through a persons head) to improve Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). PTSD is a condition that can affect the brain caused when a person has gone through a shocking, scary, or dangerous life event. Recent new technology makes it possible to provide safer and better ways for brain therapy. The study wants to see if ultrasound (a way to see inside of a persons body) brain therapy will help people with PTSD. Being in this study requires up to 5-6 in-person study visits at a clinic over about 1 to 2 months. This includes completing surveys, interviews, a physical exam, ultrasound, and MRI scans (ways to see the inside of a persons body). Medical tests will be done during the study to track the health of participants. People will be paid for their time in the study.
