I CARE for Vets: InCreasing Activity & REcovery for Veterans With PTSD
In Brief
A Phase 1 clinical trial evaluating Physical Activity for Stress Disorders, Post-Traumatic. Completed, enrolled 24 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The proposed work will be a key step forward in fulfilling the mission of VA RR\&D to restore function and enable social reintegration for Veterans. Development of an intervention to increase physical activity may improve physical functioning for Veterans with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), thus addressing an important gap in existing care. If demonstrated to be efficacious in a future randomized trial, this intervention could be implemented throughout VHA to improve quality of life and enable a full recovery for many Veterans with PTSD. Results from the proposed work may also advance our understanding of how to optimally incorporate mobile health technology (mHealth) with more traditional types of patient contacts, such as in-person visits and telephone calls. Effective use of mHealth may offer greater flexibility for VHA clinics looking to implement new programs. Incorporation of mHealth may also increase access to clinical services for Veterans who reside far from VHA facilities.
