eTMS FDA Trial for PTSD
Wright State University and Wave Neuroscience are conducting a clinical trial in Dayton, Ohio on the safety and efficacy of Electroencephalogram (EEG) Personalized Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (eTMS) for Veterans, Law Enforcement and First Responders.
Are you eligible for this study?
- Applicant must be a military Veteran, or current/former Law Enforcement or First Responder (EMT, Firefighter, etc.)
- 22-65 years of age
- Experiencing symptoms of PTSD (No formal diagnosis is required to qualify)
- No uncontrolled psychological or medial disorders or alcohol abuse
- Not currently using neurostimulation devices
- No iron-containing metal implants near the head or medical devices that could affected by a magnetic field
- No cerebral damage, such as a stroke
Symptoms of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) may include:
- Thoughts, memories, or feelings that impair daily function
- Sleep disturbance
- Dizziness
- Forgetfulness
- Fatigue
- Feeling depressed or sad
What is eTMS?
The investigative study treatment, eTMS, is a personalized form of TMS that uses the participant’s EEG signal to assign the frequency of stimulation.
Personalization of TMS is investigative. The purpose of this study is to investigate whether eTMS improves symptoms associated with PTSD.
TMS is FDA-cleared for use in Major Depressive Disorder, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, and Nicotine Cessation.
What does this study
entail?
3 Data Collection Visits
- Baseline recording
- Before first treatment
- After last treatment
20 Study Treatment Visits
- Study treatment visits over a 4 to 5 week period.
