Week 0 Medtronic 3387 electrodes/Activa PC amygdala DBS for PTSD

Based on the public registry summary, this study is trying to understand: The purpose of this study is to determine whether deep brain stimulation of the basolateral nucleus (BLn) of the amygdala, on both sides of the brain, can safely reduce symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in combat veterans whose condition has not improved despite. The study team can confirm the exact objective and what it means for you.

This appears to be a device / app / digital / technology study involving Week 0 Medtronic 3387 electrodes/Activa PC amygdala DBS, Week 12 Medtronic 3387 electrodes/Activa PC amygdala DBS. The phase is not clearly listed in the public registry. Phase is mostly relevant for medication studies and some device studies. For this study, it may be more useful to look at what is required, the duration, visits, and eligibility criteria.

This study may concern people with ptsd; age range: From 25 Years to 65 Years. The criteria appear fairly specific, but you should not assume you are eligible. The study team must confirm diagnosis, age, exclusions, available locations, and next steps.

You may need to use a device, app, or digital tool for a defined period. The listed study locations suggest that at least part of participation may involve a physical site. Ask whether some steps can be done remotely.

If the study uses a device, app, or digital tool, check what data is collected, who can access it, how often you need to use it, and what happens if the tool detects a concerning signal. For any mental health study, also ask who to contact if you feel worse, whether participation may affect current treatment, whether you can stop, and who confirms eligibility.

The listed study locations suggest that at least part of participation may involve a physical site. Ask which sites are open, how many visits are expected, whether any steps can be done remotely, and whether travel costs or compensation are listed.

This study is sponsored by US Department of Veterans Affairs, which appears to be a government agency. If available, it can be useful to check the sponsor website, collaborators, investigator affiliation, and the official registry before deciding. HopeStage does not judge the quality of a sponsor or researcher, but helps you identify what to verify.

The registry indicates that this study is not currently recruiting. Check the official registry for the reason and latest status.
