Official title
Exploring Mechanisms of Massed Cognitive Processing Therapy: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
The overall goal of this randomized controlled trial with partial crossover is to compare the effectiveness of 1-week virtual massed Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) to 5-day virtual relaxation training (RT) with regard to their ability to reduce posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms. Specifically, this study is designed to 1) examine changes in PTSD symptoms during and following the respective intervention, and 2) explore possible psychological treatment mechanisms, including cognitive control, inhibition, self-efficacy, and memory, and 3) examine possible moderators of treatment success (e.g. neuropsychological factors).
