PTSD risk after combat amputation: timing and tourniquets
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This trial looks at how quickly soldiers with a single limb amputation were evacuated and whether tourniquets were used, and how these factors relate to the risk of developing PTSD. It aims to find ways to better support recovery.

This trial tests whether adding both psychological support and physical therapy check-ins before and after leg amputation improves recovery and rehab planning. It may help patients feel better and regain function during the transition to rehabilitation care.
This study tests a non-trauma therapy for PTSD in veterans and service members who also have a mild or moderate brain injury. It aims to help with PTSD symptoms without focusing on the traumatic event itself.
This study looks at whether the level of leg amputation (below or above the knee) affects how much low back pain veterans experience after combat injury. The goal is to better understand and treat pain in the lower back that develops after amputation.
This study looks at why some people develop post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD—lasting anxiety and distress) after a serious accident or injury in the emergency room, and which factors increase that risk. Researchers will follow patients over time to learn what helps predict and prevent PTSD.
This study tests a virtual training program and mobile app to help veterans manage PTSD from combat. It aims to reduce symptoms and improve daily life.
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.
