EEG-based Personalized Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (eTMS) to Treat Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder
Condition(s) studied
Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)
EEG-based personalized TMS: Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS), in which treatment is personalized based on the participant's Electroencephalogram (EEG)
Sham Comparator: Sham Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS), in which treatment is personalized based on the participant's Electroencephalogram (EEG). No stimulation is provided.
Study summary
This is a randomized, sham controlled study of the Electroencephalogram (EEG) based Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (eTMS) treatment for Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). The recruitment goal is 110 participants who are United States Military veterans or first responders (e.g., firefighters, police, paramedics, etc.). The Study includes an EEG recording in order to determine the optimal treatment parameters for the eTMS system, followed by 15 in-office visits that take place over 21-28 total days. Two eTMS treatment sessions are administered during each office visit.
Eligibility
Primary outcome measure(s)
- Improvement in PTSD Symptoms as Measured by Drop in Score on the PTSD Checklist for DSM-5 (PCL-5) — Baseline and Final Measure, between 21-28 Days
The Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) Checklist for Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 5th Ed. (DSM-5), commonly referred to as PCL-5, is a 20-item self-report measure that assesses the 20 DSM-5 symptoms of PTSD. It is used to monitor symptom change during and after treatment. Each item is scored from 0 to 5 as the participant's estimate of the severity of the symptom (0 = Not at all, 1=A little bit, 2 = Moderately, 3 = Quite a bit, 4 = Extremely). The final score range is between 0-80. A lower score is considered better than a higher score.
