The University of Pennsylvania will conduct a randomized controlled study of 120 participants to examine the effects of intraparietal sulcus stimulation on arousal, extinction learning, and related neural mechanisms in people with PTSD.
Description
A clinical trial evaluating whether continuous theta burst stimulation of the intraparietal sulcus, combined with extinction training, reduces arousal and improves extinction learning retention among patients with PTSD.
