Summary

The purpose of this study is to compare two slightly different methods of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) to treat Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)

Detailed description

This is a randomized single-blind pilot study investigating the efficacy of high-frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) applied to the right dorsolateral prefrontal cortex at either 10 Hz or 20 Hz as compared to a treatment as usual group for the treatment of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) symptoms.

Conditions

• PTSD, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	10 Hz rTMS of the right dorsolateral prefrontal cortex	Ten sessions of 10 Hz rTMS of the right dorsolateral prefrontal cortex
OTHER	20 Hz rTMS of the right dorsolateral prefrontal cortex	Ten sessions of 20 Hz rTMS of the right dorsolateral prefrontal cortex
