Effect of TMS on PTSD Biomarkers
Sponsor: Emory University
Summary
The study will (1) assess feasibility of a TMS treatment in an underserved population; (2) determine if this TMS treatment protocol improves PTSD symptoms and biological markers of PTSD such as brain functioning and startle responses; (3) define new brain targets for future TMS studies; (4) provide the first data for individual differences, which will help personalize treatment for PTSD patients; (5) improve knowledge of the neurobiology of PTSD and treatment response.

Interventions
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS)
10-day treatment (2 per day with 10 minute break, 20 sessions in total) of active Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS). TMS is a noninvasive treatment that uses magnetic fields to induce a small electric current in specific brain regions.
Sham Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS)
