Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study is testing an accelerated form of non-invasive brain stimulation — delivered over just a few days rather than weeks — to treat PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder). **You may be eligible if...** - You are 18–65 years old and meet the diagnostic criteria for PTSD - Your PTSD symptom score is above 33 on the PCL-5 questionnaire - Your medications (if any) and therapy regimen have been stable for at least one month prior to the study **You may NOT be eligible if...** - You have a medical reason that prevents brain stimulation, such as metal in the head, a seizure disorder, brain tumor, stroke, aneurysm, or multiple sclerosis - You have had a substance use disorder in the last 3 months - You are currently at significant risk due to substance use Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.

Interventions

DEVICECool B70 AP Coil - Active (dl-PFC)

One side of the coil is the active and the other is sham. The B70 AP coil will be positioned over the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (dl-PFC).

DEVICECool B70 AP Coil- Sham (dl-PFC)

One side of the coil is the active and the other is sham. The B70 AP coil will be positioned over the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (dl-PFC).

DEVICECool D-B80 AP Coil - Active (dm-PFC)

One side of the coil is the active and the other is sham. The cool D-B80 AP coil will be positioned over the midline (bilateral) dorsal medial prefrontal cortex (dmPFC) using location 25.8% distance from nasion to inion.

DEVICECool D-B80 AP Coil - Sham (dm-PFC)

One side of the coil is the active and the other is sham. The cool D-B80 AP coil will be positioned over the midline (bilateral) dorsal medial prefrontal cortex (dmPFC) using location 25.8% distance from nasion to inion.

DEVICECool B70 Treatment Coil - Active Only

The treatment will be the same as the left dl-PFC accel-TMS dl-PFC except that the Cool B70 Treatment coil only has an active treatment coil.
