About this trial

This is an interventional basic science trial for Post-traumatic Stress Disorder

Eligibility Criteria

18 Years - 60 Years (Adult)All SexesAccepts Healthy Volunteers

Inclusion Criteria:

  • 18-60 years old

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Transcranial magnetic stimulation ineligibility

Sites / Locations

  • IRDPQRecruiting

Arms of the Study

Arm 1

Arm 2

Arm Type

Active Comparator

Sham Comparator

Arm Label

Active transcranial magnetic stimulation

Sham transcranial magnetic stimulation

Arm Description

Active transcranial magnetic stimulation will induce real pulses using the transcranial magnetic stimulation device.

Sham transcranial magnetic stimulation will not induce any pulses using the same transcranial magnetic stimulation device but by also adding a sham block device.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Severity of symptoms on the following clinical scale: PTSD symptoms as assessed by the Modified PTSD Symptom Scale (MPSS-SR)
Units will be the differences (%) in scores before and after the intervention

Secondary Outcome Measures

Severity of symptoms on the following clinical scale: anxiety symptoms as assessed by the Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI)
Units will be the differences (%) in scores before and after the intervention
Severity of symptoms on the following clinical scale: depression symptoms as assessed by the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI)
Units will be the differences (%) in scores before and after the intervention
