The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about the safety, feasibility, and preliminary efficacy of EEG-enhanced transcranial magnetic stimulation (eTMS) as an adjunct to standard-of-care therapies for chronic trauma and stressor related disorders (TSRD) among US military veterans. The main questions the study aims to answer are: * Is it safe to provide 30 sessions of eTMS for veterans with chronic TSRD? * Is it feasible to provide 30 sessions of eTMS as an adjunct to standard-of-care therapies for veterans with chronic TSRD? * Does health-related quality of life improve among veterans after 30 sessions of eTMS as an adjunct to standard-of-care therapies for chronic TSRD? Participants will undergo 30 sessions of eTMS as an adjunct to standard-of-care therapies for veterans with chronic TSRD, weekly reassessment during treatment, and intermittent follow-up for 36 weeks post-enrollment.
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the effects of the Alliance180 Program on physical and psychological well-being on adults who are/were US Veterans, First Responders and/or Front Line Healthcare Workers. The study aims are: * Aim #1: to evaluate the effect of the Alliance180 Program on physical and psychological well-being in adults who are/were US Veterans, First Responders and/or Front Line Healthcare Workers; * Aim #2: to evaluate the relationship between between feelings of safety and well-being, autonomic functioning, and mental health indices (depression, anxiety, trauma response) before and after the intervention. Participants will be asked to complete self-report measures of feelings of safety and well-being, autonomic functioning, and mental health indices (depression, anxiety, trauma response) before participating in the Alliance180 Program (i.e., baseline research session) and 1 week, 1 month, 3 months and 6 months after completing the Alliance180 Program. Demographic information will be documented during the baseline research session.
The proposed study will test whether a working memory training (WMT) program improves fear extinction learning and its underlying neural circuitry in Veterans with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). WMT is designed to improves the ability to maintain task-relevant information in mind. The project will further validate the relationship between working memory and fear extinction using novel computational and multivariate analyses that link to specific PTSD symptoms. If WMT can enhance fear extinction learning, then WMT may be a powerful adjunctive treatment that can enhance exposure therapy outcomes or be leveraged as a stand-alone treatment. This project supports the Department of Veteran Affairs mission of developing viable targets of treatment for Veterans with PTSD.
The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the feasibility and utility of SIT delivered asynchronously (self-paced) via fully virtual platform with and without the aid of a mobile health application and to determine initial change over baseline in terms of reduction in PTSD symptoms and improvement in resiliency in participants receiving the virtual SIT prototype, using Linear Mixed Models (LMMs),
This study will examine the feasibility of virtual Tai Chi Easy training for registered nurses and see if participation results in changes in symptoms of transition shock, healthcare-related psychological traumatic stress, burnout, somatic symptoms, and intention to quit. Participants will do virtual Tai Chi Easy for 2 hours per week and practice on their own for 40 minutes per week. The study will last six weeks. Surveys will be completed in REDCap before, during, and after the intervention.
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if training with the Prism system can reduce PTSD symptoms in US military Veterans and civilians with PTSD. Prism is a form of neurofeedback training that uses EEG signals to promote self-regulation of brain function. The main question this study aims to answer is: Does Prism training lead to decreased PTSD symptoms in US Veterans and civilians when used in addition to usual PTSD treatment? Researchers will compare Prism training to a sham training (a look-alike training that does not provide real feedback on brain activity) to see if Prism training decreases PTSD symptoms. Participants will: * Complete two one-hour in-person training sessions a week for about 8 weeks (15 sessions) * Complete two booster training sessions one month and two months after finishing the main training course * Participate in three detailed interviews: one before training, a second after nine weeks of training, and a third one month after the last booster training session (about 20 weeks after the initial visit)
The main objective of this pilot trial is to determine the feasibility and initial efficacy of telehealth-delivered written exposure therapy to reduce the development of posttraumatic stress disorder after sexual assault. This pilot trial will provide the data necessary to design and support a large-scale trial.
The purpose of this study is to learn more about the effectiveness of a prescription wrist-wearable device called NightWare (NW) on improving sleep in Veterans with nightmares related to posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The investigators also want to learn whether it improves cardiovascular health among this population.
Objectives of this study are to provide continued safety assessment for the ReStore system, and to gain further estimates of the effect size of Vagus Nerve Stimulation (VNS) therapy with Prolonged Exposure Therapy (PE) compared to PE with placebo (sham) stimulation in participants with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
