Official title
Improving Function Through Primary Care Treatment of PTSD
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
The proposed project will examine a promising brief therapy for posttraumatic stress Disorder (PTSD) for use in Veterans Health Administration (VHA) Primary Care and its impact on functional outcomes. This intervention will provide an alternative point of access to effective PTSD treatment and improved function that does not require referral to specialty mental health and accomplishes improved function in a short-term, brief protocol. Many Veterans prefer to receive mental health care, including PTSD service in primary care. The current protocol would allow them to access effective therapy options in addition to the medication management that is currently the standard of care for PTSD in primary care. In addition, this brief protocol may reduce the number of specialty mental health referrals as many Veterans may not require additional PTSD specific treatment after completion. Thus, if effective, this protocol will greatly increase Veteran treatment choice and improve functional outcomes and access while also increasing efficiency of allocation of specialty PTSD services.
