Beschreibung
Inclusion Criteria:
- Have diagnosis of combat-related PTSD by DSM-V criteria, diagnosed via clinical interview by psychologist or psychiatrist (note: combat pilots of remotely piloted aircraft are included)
- PCL-M score > 45
- Age between 18 and 55 years (at day of informed consent)
- Willing and able to adhere to the treatment schedule and all required study visits.
- Must be clinically stable for at least 30 days on or off any PTSD medication before the trial treatment
Exclusion Criteria:
Individuals diagnosed by the Investigator with the following conditions (current unless otherwise stated):
- History of open skull traumatic brain injury
- History of clinically significant seizure disorder
Individuals with a clinically defined neurological disorder including, but not limited to:
- Any condition likely to be associated with increased intracranial pressure
- Space occupying brain lesion
- History of cerebrovascular accident
- Cerebral aneurysm
- Abnormalities that indicate risk of seizure, i.e., focal or general slowing or spikes during EEG recording
- Any type of rTMS treatment within 3 months prior to the screening visit
- Currently under antipsychotic medication treatment
- Intracranial implant (e.g., aneurysm clips, shunts, stimulators, cochlear implants, stents, or electrodes) or any other metal object within or near the head, excluding the mouth, which cannot be safely removed
- Clinically significant abnormality or clinically significant unstable medical condition that in the Investigator's judgment might pose a potential safety risk to the subject or limit interpretation of the trial results
- Clinically significant medical illness, including any uncontrolled thyroid disorders, hepatic, cardiac, pulmonary and renal malfunctioning
- Any condition which in the judgment of the investigator would prevent the subject from completion of the study
- Inability to acquire a clinically satisfactory EEG/ECG on a routine basis
- Grossly abnormal electrolyte or cell blood count panels suggestive of other pathology at study initiation
- Pregnant or breastfeeding women

Schein-Komparator: Sham
The double-blind is used during the first 2 weeks.
From week 3 and on, the study becomes open label.
Subjects in Group I (active MeRT treatment group) will continue receive active MeRT treatment for W3/4; subjects in Group II (placebo/sham group) will receive active MeRT treatment from W3 to W6 for 4 weeks.
All subjects will receive 4 weeks active MeRT treatment.
The study ends in 8th wk.
The data collection points are baseline, weeks of 2, 4, 6, and 8.
The data from weeks 1-2 (Phase I) will be utilized to analyze the safety and any effect of MRT procedure may have over placebo.
The data from weeks 3 on (Phase II) will be used to address if any benefit of longer MeRT treatment (4 vs 2 weeks).
The study design offers both groups 4 weeks of the experimental therapy in a row.
This will provide potentially equal benefit to those participants assuming that MeRT helps to improve PTSD symptoms.
