CIC + VA-CRAFT
for PTSD
Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) afflicts many war Veterans, but often they are reluctant to seek help despite availability of effective treatments. Family members are key sources of support who can help encourage such Veterans to initiate mental health services. Toward that goal, VA provides telephone coaching to family members through its Coaching Into Care (CIC) program to help get their Veterans into care. While CIC enjoys high caller satisfaction, it has shown only modest success getting Veterans into care. Blended interventions that include professional support and technology-based interventions offer promise for improving effectiveness of services. Therefore, this study tests an intervention that blends CIC calls with a web program called VA Community Reinforcement and Family Training (VA-CRAFT). VA-CRAFT is a translation of an empirically-validated model intended to help Veterans by training their family members to effectively promote care-seeking. If successful, this approach will support families and help more Veterans receive needed mental health care for PTSD.

TMS
for Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder
In post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), intrusive, traumatic, autobiographical memories lead to anxiety symptoms. Recent work suggests a new repetitive pulse transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) brain target that might bring relief. Since this proposed target is not well understood, the goal of the study is to use functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to identify the brain regions and networks that change with rTMS stimulation at this target area in PTSD patients. Ultimately, this would lead to a personalized approach to rTMS treatment of PTSD based on brain imaging that can be used in a future clinical trial. Participants will be asked to complete psychological testing and questionnaires as well as an initial MRI and two separate TMS-fMRI sessions. Total participation time across all visits is estimated to be five to six hours. Research participation will take place at VA Palo Alto as well as at Stanford University.
