Digital therapy for distressing memories after trauma
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests a computer-based program designed to reduce the impact of intrusive memories that follow a traumatic event. If you have post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and have frequent intrusive memories, this might help ease their frequency and emotional weight.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
