Towards Optimization of Traumatic Cognitive-behavioral Therapy for Treatment of Post-traumatic Stress Disorder and Related Problems
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Specific Modules and Cognitive behavioral therapy for PTSD. Completed, enrolled 92 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of a form of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) in a population of individuals with PTSD and common related problems (depression, anxiety or sleep disorders, pain, psychosocial stressors, low social support, substance use disorder). Half of the participants will receive a cognitive behavioral therapy with specific modules for the treatment of related problems (CBT-E) and the other half of participants will receive therapy without specific modules (CBT-C). The main assumption is that participants treated in the CBT-E condition will present a lower level of symptom intensity of PTSD and a higher remission rate than those in the CBT-C condition during the post-treatment assessment. As a secondary objective, an analysis of the different parameters of effectiveness of the two forms of CBT (e.g., average number of sessions required to reach remission, treatment strategies used) will be performed.
