Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

This is an open-label safety pilot study of the Electroencephalogram (EEG) Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (eTMS) treatment for Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). The recruitment goal is 30 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 20 in-office treatments over 35 days.

Detailed Description

eTMS-PTSD-001 is an open-label safety pilot study with a recruitment goal of 30 subjects, with 26 completers. The Study is intended to evaluate the safety aspects of eTMS in the target population. A maximum of 400 individuals will be screened in order to achieve the recruitment goal. The total number of days from the first participant enrolled to the last enrolled participant treated will be approximately 7 months.

Participants will be either Veterans or First Responders (e.g., emergency medical service provider, firefighter, or any other emergency response personnel), between 22-65 years of age. Participants may be male or female of any racial/ethnic background who meet the eligibility criteria. Participants will be recruited from the general public, and from veterans and first responder organizations.

The primary outcome for the Study will be the incidence, severity, relatedness, type, subsequent treatment/intervention required, and resolution status of adverse events during the study.

Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Experimental: Open-Label active EEG-based personalized TMS treatment

20 sessions of EEG-based personalized TMS over a maximum of 35 days. One session maximum per day. Each session consists of TMS treatment at 50% Motor Threshold, pulse frequency between 8-13 Hz. TMS delivery of 5 second pulse train, with an inter-train interval of 20 seconds. Session duration is 15 minutes.

Device: EEG-based personalized TMS
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS), in which treatment is personalized based on the participant's Electroencephalogram (EEG)
