Written exposure therapy led by behavioral health technicians for PTSD
Treatments studied
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests whether a trained behavioral health technician can help active duty service members with PTSD by guiding them through 'written exposure therapy'—a simple treatment where you write about your trauma to reduce its hold on you. If it works, it could make PTSD care more accessible and effective.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests a very brief exposure therapy to help U.S. combat veterans with PTSD. It is designed for veterans who have not had recent mental health treatment and experienced combat trauma within the last 10 years.
This trial tests whether a type of brain stimulation (rTMS) combined with a structured writing therapy can reduce PTSD symptoms in veterans. It may help by boosting how the brain processes traumatic memories while you work through them in writing.
This study tests if combining a safe, non-invasive brain stimulation with a writing therapy can help reduce PTSD symptoms in military personnel and veterans who have had a mild or moderate head injury. The goal is to see if this combination works better than either treatment alone.
This trial tests a short therapy called BWRT (BrainWorking Recursive Therapy) to help people with PTSD. It compares the therapy to a waitlist group to see if it reduces trauma symptoms.
This study tests whether a type of writing-based therapy called Written Exposure Therapy can help reduce PTSD symptoms. Researchers will measure brain activity (EEG) and sleep/activity patterns to see if they can predict how well the therapy works.
This study tests a writing therapy to help people with PTSD who are in residential treatment for substance use. It may help reduce PTSD symptoms by processing traumatic memories.
