RecruitingRegisteredANZCTR

This double-blinded, randomised controlled trial (n=100) aims to assess the feasibility, tolerability, and safety of intermittent theta burst stimulation (iTBS) and oral ketamine (OK) as a combination treatment for Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).

Details

Randomised, parallel-group, double-blinded Phase II trial comparing active iTBS plus weekly oral ketamine (1 mg/kg, 6 doses) with sham iTBS plus the same ketamine regimen over a 6-week treatment period and 2 follow-ups.

TMS is delivered five days per week (30 sessions total); ketamine is administered on-site once weekly with 2-hour observation. Primary outcome includes PTSD symptom change (PCL-5) between baseline and follow-ups.
