A Randomized Clinical Trial of Cognitive-Behavioral Treatment for PTSD in Women
Abstract
The study is a randomized clinical trial comparing two types of individual psychotherapy for treating PTSD in 384 female veterans and active duty personnel at 12 sites. The treatments are a trauma-focused approach, Prolonged Exposure, and an approach focused on current needs and problems in Present Centered Therapy. Each site will enroll 32 patients - a rate of 1.33 per month over the 24 months of active recruitment in the study. The hypothesis is that Prolonged Exposure will be more effective than Present-Centered Therapy for the treatment of PTSD in female veterans and active duty personnel. The study has just begun its pilot/training phase. No results or conclusions have been made yet.
