简要总结
The purpose of the present study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Brainsway Deep TMS (DTMS) for the treatment of PTSD.
详细描述
Deep TMS in conjunction with brief trauma exposure will be compared to sham treatment in conjunction with brief trauma exposure, in a multicenter, randomized, controlled study for the treatment of PTSD. Study duration is 9 weeks, consisting of 4 weeks of treatment and a 5 week and 9 week follow-up visit. Subjects will be randomized to real or sham treatment stratified by site. The design is meant to demonstrate that the device shows superiority compared to sham treatment at the 5 week follow-up visit and at the 9 week follow-up visit, 1 month post-treatment.
