Three Types of Magnetic Stimulation Effective for Treating PTSD in Veterans
A multisite VA study of 756 veterans with comorbid PTSD and depression found that 10 Hz rTMS, left-prefrontal iTBS, and deep TMS all produced substantial symptom reductions (18–22 points on the PCL-5). PTSD remission rates were 47%, 48%, and 49% respectively, with iTBS and deep TMS noninferior to standard 10 Hz. This is the first study large enough to demonstrate statistically significant benefits across all three protocols.
