Personalized PTSD Treatment for Veterans
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This trial helps veterans with PTSD choose between two proven talk therapies—Prolonged Exposure (PE) or Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT)—and uses a smartphone app to support their treatment. The goal is to see which approach works best for each person.
