Active clinical trials for "Stress Disorders, Post-Traumatic"

A before and after study of veterans who took part in a 12-week loving-kindness meditation course as an adjunct to their usual care for posttraumatic stress disorder.

Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is prevalent mental illness (~9% life-time) that results from exposure to trauma. As it is associated with vastly heterogeneous origins, accurate diagnosis and optimal treatment strategies are sometimes very difficult to achieve. No known biomarker exists, which makes it difficult to assess treatment response and functional outcomes. The recent brain imaging studies have suggested that PTSD patients show abnormal brain connectivity measured by functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). The investigators propose that cognitive processing therapy may ameliorate this functional connectivity abnormality which may be related with their symptomatic improvement.

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the feasibility of the revised brain training program with individuals diagnosed with Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD) and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).

Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is associated with poor health, high health care utilization, and an increased risk for a variety of somatic, inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. Research, including our own findings, indicates immunological alterations in PTSD patients. The aim of this study is to investigate whether alterations in the immune system of PTSD patients are reversible through a trauma-specific short-term therapy (Narrative Exposure Therapy).

The purpose of this study is to determine whether a brief intervention for disabling anxiety is practical to conduct and beneficial for older adults injured by falls.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether participation in mind-body skills groups by veterans who have experienced a stressful war-related situation and have symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), will improve symptoms of PTSD, depression and anxiety, reduce anger, improve quality of life, quality of sleep and result in posttraumatic growth (a positive change that people can experience when they have been in a traumatic situation).

A pilot study to evaluate the ability of photobiomodulation to alter cerebral blood flow in the frontal poles and to affect the emotional status of patients with major depression.

It is proposed that using Virtual Reality as part of therapy will result in improvements in Post Traumatic Stress Disorder for Service Members with PTSD related to service in Iraq and/or Afghanistan.

This 8 weeks study will investigate therapeutic responses to Seroquel pharmacotherapy in PTSD.

To study the impact of Individual Placement and Support (IPS) supported employment (SE) compared to treatment-as-usual vocational rehabilitation program (VRP) for veterans with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
