Evaluation of the Effectiveness of a Novel Brain and Vestibular Rehabilitation Treatment Modality in PTSD Patients Who Have Suffered Combat Related Traumatic Brain Injuries
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Functional Neurological Rehabilitation for PTSD and TBI. Completed, enrolled 98 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Treatment for veterans who have had a traumatic brain injury (TBI) and who are suffering from post traumatic stress syndrome (PTSD) is varied with varied outcomes. Investigators will study PTSD treatment in military Veterans who have suffered traumatic brain injuries. Investigators will use 1 independent specialty treatment centers that utilize a specific novel methodology of PTSD treatments and study the clinical outcomes of veterans who have suffered a TBI with associated post-concussive symptoms and other comorbidities such as PTSD. Investigators hypothesize that the treatment of PTSD will have a significant outcome with neurological physical and vestibular rehabilitation when compared to psychological or psychiatric therapy. This study will use gold standard measurement scales and compare changes in the scales after treatment to evaluate the treatments.
