Adolescent PCIP Randomized Feasibility Trial

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder in AdolescencePost Traumatic Stress Disorder

There are three research questions: (1) whether the Primary Care Intervention for PTSD (PCIP) improves health outcomes; (2) whether and how the PCIP can be sustainably delivered via telehealth; and (3) how PCIP compares to treatment as usual (TAU) participants. The mixed methods randomized feasibility trial of the protocol will be measured by the RE-AIM framework (Reach, Effectiveness, Adoption, Implementation, Maintenance) (n=44 patients and their care givers). We will collect data on patient, caregiver, and clinic staff participation, retention, and satisfaction (Reach and Adoption), change in hypothesized treatment mechanisms and symptoms (Effectiveness), and facilitators and barriers to intervention delivery and fidelity (Implementation). We will, Assess the reach and adoption of the protocol by analyzing quantitative data on patient and clinic staff participation, retention, and satisfaction; Explore the effectiveness of the protocol through medical record review, quantitative assessments at baseline and post-treatment, and semi-structured qualitative interviews at baseline and post-treatment to: Evaluate the implementation of the screening and intervention protocol with post-intervention semi-structured qualitative interviews to assess facilitators and barriers to intervention delivery, quantitative fidelity scales, observation of screening, and review of intervention audio recordings to assess fidelity to the protocol and intervention process.

Stellate Ganglion Block to Augment Trauma-focused Therapy Among Veterans With PTSD

PTSDTrauma and Stressor Related Disorders3 more

Our long-term goal is to improve clinical outcomes among patients receiving psychological treatment for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The primary objective of this project is to examine if stellate ganglion block (SGB) improves outcomes among military personnel and veterans receiving cognitive processing therapy (CPT), an empirically-supported psychological treatment for PTSD. To accomplish this objective, we will enroll adult military personnel and veterans with a current diagnosis of PTSD and/or subthreshold PTSD, provide CPT sessions over two weeks, administer SGB during or after CPT, and repeatedly assess key outcomes during follow-up.

OSA PAP Treatment for Veterans With SUD and PTSD on Residential Treatment Unit

Post Traumatic Stress DisorderObstructive Sleep Apnea2 more

Substance use disorder (SUD) and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) frequently co-occur and having both disorders is associated with greater psychological and functional impairment than having either disorder alone. This is especially true in residential settings where both disorders are more severe than outpatient settings. Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is highly comorbid with both disorders and untreated OSA is associated with worse functional impairment across multiple domains, worse quality of life, worse PTSD, higher suicidal ideation, and higher substance use and relapse rates. Treating OSA with evidence-based positive airway pressure (PAP) in Veterans with SUD/PTSD on a residential unit is a logical way to maximize treatment adherence and treatment outcomes. This study compares OSA treatment while on a SUD/PTSD residential unit to a waitlist control group. The investigators hypothesize that treating OSA on the residential unit, compared to the waitlist control, will have better functional, SUD, and PTSD outcomes.

Testing a Novel Therapeutic Strategy for Comorbid Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder and Alcohol Use...

Stress DisordersPost-Traumatic1 more

This study evaluates the therapeutic tolerability of the use of Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) with propranolol in participants with Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD). The investigators are planning to perform an initial proof -of- concept randomized, placebo- controlled trial evaluating propranolol in participants with PTSD and AUD starting CPT for 12 weeks with three post-treatment follow ups at week-16, week-20, and week-24. Participants with current diagnosis of PTSD and AUD seeking treatment will be randomized to either a propranolol group (n=24) or placebo group (n=24) after enrollment. All participants will receive CPT for 12 weeks after randomization. Primary outcomes will be measured in both groups at the end of the study (week 12).

Enhancing Week-long Psychological Treatment for PTSD With Ketamine

Posttraumatic Stress Disorder

The purpose of this study is to test if the combination of ketamine, vs midazolam, with an intensive trauma-focused psychotherapy will be more effective in relieving post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). This week-long treatment has the potential to produce a significant therapeutic effect that otherwise would take months to occur. The study will also focus on learning about the neurophysiological changes produced by the proposed clinical trial.

Adaptation of the PCIP for Children Aged 6 to 11

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder in ChildrenPost-traumatic Stress Disorder

This study will implement a brief Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) intervention for children, the Primary Care Intervention for PTSD (PCIP) delivered through telehealth (computer or smartphone delivery), to 10 youth age 6-11 and their caregivers. Mixed methods (qualitative and quantitative) randomized pilot feasibility trial (n=10 to treatment and 10 to waitlist control) to refine the intervention, study procedures, and explore effectiveness. Following RE-AIM guidelines, the investigators will assess: Reach: patient participation in intervention delivery (out of all those asked to participate) and retention rate (out of all those who consented to participate and completed at least two intervention sessions) Adoption: patients and their parents/guardians will complete screening and intervention satisfaction ratings. To understand patient experiences with the intervention and to identify and explain positive or negative treatment mechanisms or effects, the investigators will conduct post-intervention semi-structured interviews with the participating patients, their parents/guardians, and with providers. This treatment ranges from 1-4 sessions which last 50 minutes per session. The first session will cover psychoeducation about PTSD symptoms in children that can be delivered to the parent or both the parent and child. The first session will also teach the parent and child a breathing technique to combat the physiological impact of PTSD in children. The subsequent sessions will be tailored to meet the needs of the child's most distressing PTSD symptom cluster including hyper arousal, negative changes in cognition and mood, avoidance, re-experiencing. Each session contains coping skills that the parent and child can learn together. There is also material for parents to address behavior problems in youth. This treatment will be delivered via telehealth.

Examining Effects of a Therapeutic Focus on Positive Memories on Post-Trauma Health

Stress DisordersPost-Traumatic2 more

Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) has devastating health consequences. Evidence-based PTSD interventions address the substantial burden of PTSD on the health of individuals and societies; however, several individuals receiving these interventions drop out and not all individuals experience improvement in PTSD symptoms. Moreover, these current PTSD interventions primarily target trauma memories. Notably, growing evidence suggests that PTSD symptoms are related to difficulties in the encoding and retrieving of positive memories as well. Thus, the proposed study will examine effects of and targets underlying a novel PTSD technique focused on narrating and detailing positive memories - Processing of Positive Memories Technique (PPMT). Methodologically, 70 individuals will be randomly assigned to PPMT vs. Supportive Counseling (SC) for this study. The aims of the proposed study include (1) examining PPMT's effects on PTSD symptom severity and stress systems' dysregulation (i.e., awakening salivary alpha amylase [sAA] and cortisol); (2) examining mechanisms underlying PPMT's effects; and (3) refining PPMT. It is hypothesized that the PPMT arm will report greater decreases in PTSD severity and sAA/cortisol ratios. Further, it is hypothesized that PPMT-related improved affect will mediate the association between study arm (PPMT vs. SC) and changes in PTSD severity. Lastly, feedback will be obtained from study participants on PPMT's feasibility, format, and content to refine PPMT. The proposed study may contribute preliminary evidence on the potential significance of targeting positive memories in PTSD interventions.

Rapid Acupuncture Treatment for Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder

PTSD

The summary of this research study is to test the effectiveness of a rapid "rescue" acupuncture technique as a non-pharmacologic alternative treatment for the reduction of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms in affected individuals as a means to improve warfighter health and enable a more rapid return to duty, especially in austere environments. Patients will receive acupuncture as a research-related course of treatment for PTSD. The PCL-5 questionnaire will be used to assess the presence and severity of PTSD symptoms. A PCL-5 questionnaire will be administered at the beginning of the first treatment of "rescue" acupuncture and after the last treatment. Following the acupuncture treatment, a PCL-5 questionnaire will be initiated at the beginning of the first week of treatment and the end of the second week of treatment at the participating Mental Health Clinic (pMHC).
