NCT03997344
This pilot study evaluates the feasibility of conducting a study to evaluate the impact of nature exposure/hiking in groups on symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder in Veterans. Participants will be randomized to one of two groups: 1) nature hikes and 2) urban hikes.
NCT01338506
In comparison to the general population, U.S. military and Veterans are at an increased risk for developing both substance use disorders (SUD) and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Current research has shown that there is a high comorbidity of SUD and PTSD, and although there are a number of treatments for SUD and PTSD independently, there are very few effective methods to simultaneously treat both disorders. Because of this substantial gap in the treatment of both SUDs and PTSD, it has become essential to develop a combined treatment that would address and treat both disorders. Individuals, specifically U.S. military and Veterans, with SUD/PTSD have unique needs that require a specialized treatment approach. This designed approach would employ cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) to treat the SUD, in conjunction with Prolonged Exposure therapy to treat the PTSD. Prolonged Exposure (PE) is an empirically supported and evidence-based treatment that is currently regarded as the "gold standard" psychosocial treatment for PTSD. In combination with CBT, this treatment would address both disorders in hopes of reducing substance use and PTSD symptomatology.
NCT02556645
The purpose of this randomized controlled trial is to compare the efficacy and potential biological mechanisms of action of 10 sessions of a web-version of Prolonged Exposure (PE), "Web-PE," delivered over 8-weeks to 10 sessions of Present Centered Treatment (PCT) delivered over 8-weeks by a therapist in 120 active duty military personnel with PTSD. Up to 170 individuals will be consented to obtain data from 120 for analysis. Participants will be assessed at pre-treatment, mid-treatment, and 1-, 3- and 6-months after treatment completion.
NCT01007006
The objective of this study is to evaluate whether use of TRMDU in addition to medication review leads to improved outcomes and reduced health care costs for patients when compared with medication review alone. The study will be conducted in patients assigned to Department of Defense (DOD) Warrior Transition Units (WTU's), similar DOD units, and VA polytrauma centers.
NCT01157416
The purpose of this study is to show whether D-cycloserine in combination with cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is more effective than CBT plus placebo to reduce symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in 7-12 year old children.
NCT02384369
This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study of SNC-102 in adult subjects with cPTSD, added to pre-existing treatment that includes prazosin with or without other psychotropic drugs. Subjects will be treated with SNC-102 tablets or matching placebo on a BID basis for 8 weeks. Subjects will be evaluated for the symptoms of combat-related posttraumatic stress disorder (cPTSD) as measured by the Clinician Administered PTSD Scale (CAPS-5), compared with the response to placebo.
NCT01158001
The objective of the proposed study is to conduct a systematic comparison of post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) outcomes for veterans receiving exposure therapy via telemedicine versus in-person care. The primary aim is to determine feasibility: whether telemedicine can be used as a tool to extend effective, specialized mental health services, such as Prolonged Exposure therapy (PE; a therapy designed to help clients face fears related to a traumatic event), to veterans with limited access to care. A secondary aim is to determine if therapy delivered by telemedicine affects the quality of care in terms of clinical outcomes and the quality of patient-therapist interaction. A tertiary aim is to examine whether results from neuropsychological testing predict treatment outcomes.
NCT00105885
The purpose of this study is to answer the following questions: (1) Does substituting brief, scheduled, clinician-initiated telephone calls (telephone care) for routine psychiatric medication management visits reduce overall healthcare utilization? (2) Is substituting brief, scheduled, clinician-initiated telephone calls (telephone care) for routine psychiatric medication management visits as effective as routine care?
NCT01914861
The purpose of this study is to examine a possible link between the time of day of exposure to a traumatic event and the risk of developing post-traumatic stress disorder. Clinical and biological correlates will also be examined from this perspective.
NCT00597389
Twenty-nine pediatric injury patients (ages 10-18) at risk for PTSD were randomly assigned to receive either propranolol or placebo in a double-blind placebo controlled design. Medication was initiated within 12 hours of hospital admission. At 6-weeks, child PTSD symptoms and heart rate (HR) during trauma recall were assessed. We hypothesized that participants who received propranolol would report fewer PTSD symptoms and have lower heart rates than those who received placebo.
