Coalition to Alleviate PTSD: Randomized Clinical Trial of Cognitive-Behavior Therapy for Posttraumatic Headache
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Behavioral Headache Therapy, Cognitive Processing Therapy, and 1 other intervention for Post-traumatic Headache and PTSD. Completed, enrolled 193 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The overall purpose of the study is to compare two talk therapies (Clinic-Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Cognitive Processing Therapy-Cognitive Only) for the treatment of posttraumatic headache (PTHA) and co-morbid posttraumatic stress (PTS). The researchers hope to learn if a non-medication, cognitive-behavioral treatment can result in noticeable reductions in PTHA intensity/severity and frequency as well as PTS symptom severity.
