Vagus nerve stimulation therapy for treatment-resistant PTSD

Vagus nerve stimulation therapy for treatment-resistant PTSD

Background: Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is common and debilitating, and many individuals do not respond to existing therapies. We developed a fundamentally novel neuromodulation-based therapy for treatment-resistant PTSD. This approach is premised on coupling prolonged exposure therapy, a f...
