What PTSD looks like in the brain
Common qEEG findings in PTSD include elevated frontal high-beta, reduced posterior alpha, and altered coherence between prefrontal and limbic regions. The map gives us specific targets to address.
Pairing TMS with trauma therapy
EMDR, CPT, and prolonged-exposure therapy work well alongside TMS. Many patients find trauma work becomes more tolerable when baseline arousal lowers.
FDA status and safety
TMS is FDA-cleared for depression, anxious depression, and OCD. Use for PTSD is off-label and delivered under physician oversight with informed consent.
