Cognitive training for thinking problems in PTSD
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests a computer-based cognitive training program designed to improve memory, attention, and decision-making skills in people with PTSD, with the goal of helping them function better in daily life. It's offered through the VA, so it may be especially relevant for veterans.
