      Morphine or Ketamine for Pain

      New York, New York
      Pain is common in children presenting to the emergency department but is frequently undertreated, leading to both short- and long-term consequences. Morphine is the standard treatment for children with moderate to severe acute pain, but its use is associated with serious side effects and caregiver and clinician concerns related to opioid administration. The investigators aim to determine if sub-dissociative ketamine is non-inferior to morphine for treating acute pain and a preferable alternative for treating acute pain in children because of its more favorable side effect profile and potential long-term benefits related to pain-related function, analgesic use/misuse, and mental and behavioral health outcomes.

      Virtual Reality and Neuromodulation for Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder

      Sherbrooke, Quebec
      Veterans in Canada are twice as likely as the general population to experience chronic pain. This pain is often linked to post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and both have a major impact on their quality of life. The autonomic nervous system (ANS) plays a key role in these pathologies, making its modulation a promising therapeutic target. Veterans are already experiencing pain and PTSD relief via virtual reality (VR), mostly through ANS reactivity modulation. Long-term exposure (desensitization) and the calming effect are the two forms of VR; the latter is more tolerable and more suited for ANS rebalance. Its benefits on pain, however, are still mild and transient. In order to further enhance these benefits, cranial nerve non-invasive neuromodulation (CN-NINM), a novel technology that enables the direct flow of neuronal impulses through tongue stimulation, is suggested to be combined with virtual reality (VR). The goal of this project is to document the feasibility of an intervention combining virtual reality (VR) with real and sham cranial nerve non-invasive neuromodulation (CN-NINM) in veterans with post-traumatic stress disorder and chronic pain. The secondary objectives are: 1) to explore and compare the effect of the two interventions (VR + real CN-NINM vs. VR + sham CN-NINM) on various clinical measures, and 2) to explore and compare the effect of these two interventions on autonomic nervous system (ANS) activity. Each intervention will be applied for 20 minutes. Their painful condition (whether diagnosed or not, type, location, intensity, and unpleasant aspects of the pain) as well as their PTSD-related symptoms will be assessed before and after the intervention. At the end of this study, it is expected that the CN-NINM could become a complementary treatment option for relieving pain and PTSD symptoms in PVs and, ultimately, improving their quality of life.

      Virtual Reality and Cranial Nerve Neuromodulation for Chronic Pain

      Sherbrooke, Quebec
      In Canada, veterans suffer from chronic pain at twice the rate of the general population. This pain is often linked to post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and both have a major impact on their quality of life. The autonomic nervous system (ANS) plays a key role in these pathologies, making its modulation a promising therapeutic target. Virtual reality (VR) is already being used to alleviate pain and PTSD in veterans, mainly by modulating ANS reactivity. Two types of VR exist: prolonged exposure (desensitization) and the calming effect, the latter being better tolerated and more suitable for rebalancing the ANS. However, its effects on pain remain modest and temporary. To reinforce these benefits, it is proposed to combine VR with a new approach called cranial nerve non-invasive neuromodulation (CN-NINM), an innovative technique that allows the generation of a direct flow of neuronal impulses via the stimulation of the tongue. The goal of this project is therefore to document the efficacy of VR and the combination of VR and CN-NINM on pain and ANS in veterans suffering from chronic pain and PTSD. VR, CN-NINM and the combination of the two will be applied for 20 minutes. Clinical pain, experimental pain and ANS reactivity will be assessed before and after the interventions. At the end of this study, it is expected that the investigators will be able to document the type of effect CN-NINM could have, and that it could become a complementary therapeutic option.

      Cognitive Processing Therapy for PTSD and Sexually Transmitted Infections

      Montreal, Quebec
      Gay, bisexual, queer, and other men who have sex with men (GBM) continue to bear a disproportionate burden of the sexually transmitted and blood-borne infections (STBBI), largely attributable to efficient transmission during condomless anal sex (CAS; Baggaley et al., 2010). In 2022, GBM accounted for 38.1% of new HIV diagnoses in Canada (Public Health Agency of Canada, 2023). Incidence of syphilis, chlamydia and gonorrhea have risen among men who have sex with men (MSM), especially among HIV+ GBM living in Canadian urban centres, including Toronto and Quebec (Public Health Agency of Canada, 2022). Post-traumatic stress disorder prevalence is also higher among GBM than among heterosexual men (Roberts et al., 2010). Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a risk factor for CAS and related STBBI among GBM (O'Cleirigh, 2019). Despite the strong association between PTSD and STBBI risk among GBM, no studies have examined the efficacy of PTSD treatment on STBBI risk among GBM. PTSD may also increase substance use in sexual situations, another risk factor for STBBIs among GBQM (Semple et al., 2011; Elkington et al., 2010). Substance use tends to follow PTSD because alcohol and other substances are often used to self-medicate trauma symptoms (as an avoidant coping strategy) in interpersonal situations (Tan et al., 2021). Alcohol and substance use in sexual situations are consistent risk factors for CAS among Canadian GBQM (Lambert et al., 2011), and are associated with higher HIV incidence. Due to consistent data linking substance use to STBBI risk, it has been suggested that incorporating alcohol and substance use treatment into sexual risk reduction counselling (Koblin et al., 2006; Parsons et al., 2005; Shoptaw \& Frosch, 2000) may increase the efficacy of STBBI prevention efforts for GBQM. PTSD is highly treatable via cognitive-behavioural therapies, including by Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT; Benight \& Bandura, 2004; Monson \& Shnaider, 2014; Watkins et al., 2018). The present study will provide preliminary feasibility and acceptability data for a novel and innovative STI/HIV prevention intervention for GBQM. This intervention builds upon empirically supported treatments for PTSD, including PTSD-related substance use, by adding risk reduction counselling to reduce sexually transmitted infections (STI) and HIV sexual risk behaviour. The present study will provide trial data for a novel and innovative STBBI prevention psychotherapy for GBM that could be administered by mental health providers across Canada. The intervention will consist of 14 90-minute sessions of an integrated cognitive-behavioural approach using CPT to treat PTSD and to reduce STBBI risks among GBQM. The primary outcome will be condomless anal sex with casual partners. The secondary outcomes will be PTSD prevalence, trauma symptoms, problematic substance use, sexual risk, and PTSD-related avoidance of negative thoughts and feelings. This psychotherapy intervention will build upon empirically supported interventions to reduce HIV risk.

      Self-Help Intervention for Depression and PTSD

      Syracuse, New York
      It is important to provide support and resources for the many post-9/11 Veterans with mental health symptoms and poor psychosocial functioning who do not engage in psychotherapy. One of the biggest reasons post-9/11 Veterans do not seek treatment is a preference to handle problems on their own. This study examines a self-help intervention that teaches Veterans healthy coping strategies they can use on their own and how to seek out recovery support services such as mental health treatment or whole-person care if they decide to do so in the future. This study will compare the impact of self-help and standard resources at improving mental health and resource utilization. Two hundred Veterans will complete 6 brief assessments across 40 weeks.

      Prolonged Exposure Therapy + Medication for PTSD

      Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
      Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) remains a salient and debilitating problem, in the general population and for military veterans in particular. Several psychological and pharmacological treatments for PTSD have evidence to support their efficacy. However, the lack of comparative effectiveness data for PTSD treatments remains a major gap in the literature, which limits conclusions that can be drawn about which of these treatments work best. The current study will compare the effectiveness of PTSD treatments with the strongest evidentiary support - Prolonged Exposure (PE) therapy and pharmacotherapy with paroxetine or venlafaxine - as well as the combination of these two treatments. A randomized trial will be conducted with a large, diverse sample of veterans with PTSD (N = 300) recruited from 6 VA Medical Centers throughout the US. Participants will complete baseline assessments, followed by an active treatment phase (involving up to 14 sessions of PE and/or medication management) with mid (7 week) and posttreatment (14 week) assessments, and follow-up assessments at 27 and 40 weeks. Study outcomes will include PTSD severity, depression, quality of life and functioning, assessed via clinical ratings and self-report measures. Further, a range of demographic and clinically relevant variables (e.g., trauma type/number, resilience) will be collected at baseline and examined as potential predictors or moderators of treatment response, addressing another gap in the PTSD treatment literature. These data will be used to develop algorithms from predicting the optimal treatment for individual patients (i.e., "personalized advantage indices"; PAIs). Effectiveness of the treatments will be compared using multilevel modeling. PAIs will be developed by conducting bootstrapped analyses to select variables that predict or moderate outcomes (clinician rated PTSD severity at Week 14), followed by jacknife analyses to determine the magnitude of the predicted difference (representing an individual's "predicted advantage" of one treatment over the others).

      Brain Stimulation for PTSD

      Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
      This study will be the first of its kind to explore the impact of continuous theta burst stimulation (cTBS) to the intraparietal sulcus (IPS) on arousal symptoms among patients with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The investigators will demonstrate that IPS cTBS results in significant reduction in arousal (measured by startle response) compared to sham cTBS, that IPS cTBS interacts with extinction training to further improve arousal, and that there is a dose/response effect of cTBS on arousal. The investigators will also demonstrate that IPS cTBS significantly improves retention of extinction learning, the experimental analogue of exposure therapy.

      CPT + Memory Enhancement for PTSD

      Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
      Several psychotherapies for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) have a strong evidence base for their efficacy, but nonresponse rates are high, particularly among older Veterans. Accumulating evidence indicates that memory deficits and poor learning of therapy contents adversely affect psychotherapy treatment response in PTSD. However, limited research has examined methods for increasing learning of therapy contents in psychotherapy for PTSD. The proposed study aims to examine the feasibility of integrating an intervention to increase learning and memory of psychotherapy content into the provision of a widely used psychotherapy, cognitive processing therapy (CPT), for older adults with PTSD. The ultimate goal of this line of research is to develop novel rehabilitation interventions to increase functioning for individuals with PTSD.

      Caregiver Education for Paralysis Management

      Camden, New Jersey
      The investigators will screen all mechanically ventilated ED patients for study eligibility and will enroll all consecutive patients satisfying inclusion and exclusion criteria. The study design is a pragmatic, multicenter, stepped wedge cluster randomized trial, enrolling at five sites over a 3-year period, divided into six time periods of six months. Prior to the study, each site will be randomized to their position within the design. One site will cross to the intervention period (i.e. succinylcholine as default neuromuscular blocker) every six months from the 2nd to 6th time period. Cluster order will be determined by computer-based randomization. To begin, each site will be exposed to control conditions; by the end of the study, each site will be exposed to intervention conditions. Patients in the control phase will receive usual care, and this phase will be entirely observational. After six months, a site will enter a 2-month transition phase. In this phase, the investigators will implement the intervention, similar to how they have implemented other ED-based interventions for mechanically ventilated patients. The investigators will engage and educate ED clinicians on the importance of AWP prevention and the study objectives. The intervention framework relies on the use of "nudges", without restricting choice. The use of neuromuscular blockers (i.e. "paralytic" medications) is already part of routine care in the ED in order to facilitate endotracheal intubation and initiation of mechanical ventilation for patients with acute respiratory failure. The two most common neuromuscular blockers used in the ED are succinylcholine and rocuronium. The preliminary data show a strong association between rocuronium (a longer-acting neuromuscular blocker) use and AWP. Therefore, this study aims to improve care by educating caregivers on AWP and the use of the neuromuscular blockers, which are already routinely used, and studying that process in a rigorous fashion. The default neuromuscular blocker in the intervention phase will be succinylcholine. Succinylcholine will be the default over rocuronium because: 1) it has safely been the default neuromuscular blocker of choice in the ED for \>40 years ; 2) its 5-minute duration of action greatly reduces AWP risk; 3) the preliminary data regarding an increased risk of AWP with rocuronium and 4) ED rocuronium use has increased despite no patient-centered studies showing benefit over succinylcholine. Passive alerts (i.e. graphics, pocket cards) will also be strategically placed in the ED, and active alerts will be used as reminders before every nursing shift (i.e. "the huddle"). After this transition phase, the site will begin the intervention phase, and patients will again receive clinician-directed care, just after the intervention.

      Cognitive-Behavioral Treatment for PTSD-Related Nightmares in Veterans

      Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
      Trauma-related nightmares in Veterans are associated with poor clinical outcomes, greater substance use, and increased risk of suicide. In spite of an urgent need to reduce the burden of trauma-related nightmares, the underlying physiological changes associated with them are poorly understood, and there are no clear evidence-based recommendations for their treatment. Limitations of current assessment procedures represent a barrier to improved care. In-laboratory sleep studies rarely capture nightmares, limiting the knowledge about them and their response to treatment. This study addresses these limitations by using extended, in-home sleep monitoring to capture sleep data associated with nightmare reports in Veterans, and assessing how these features are altered throughout a cognitive-behavioral nightmare treatment. Results from this study will increase understanding of trauma-related nightmares, and advance strategies for personalizing symptom management for Veterans.

      Community Mental Health Intervention for Latino Mental Health Disparities

      Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
      Latinos in the U.S. experience significant disparities in access to mental health services due to lack of health insurance, language barriers, low availability of bilingual providers, mental health stigma, and fear of deportation. There is an urgent need to identify low-cost, culturally appropriate interventions to reduce mental health disparities among this population. This project will address that need by implementing and testing CRISOL Mente, a multi-level, culturally-congruent community intervention to improve the mental health of the Latino population in Philadelphia.

      Safe and Sound Protocol for Substance Abuse

      Wernersville, Pennsylvania
      This study will explore whether the use of the Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP) app is an effective adjunct to treatment as usual (TAU) in individuals with co-occurring substance use disorders and trauma. This study will recruit 129 participants (100 completers) randomized to receive either active or sham SSP in addition to TAU. Participants will utilize the SSP for a minimum of three hours to a maximum of five hours for a total of seven days. Data will be collected at both pre- and post-test. Data to be collected will include measures on affect, anxiety, personality, mindfulness, and posttraumatic stress disorder symptoms. The SSP has shown effectiveness in reducing symptoms of anxiety, depression, and trauma symptoms in pilot studies conducted at other locations. This will be the first study to examine the effectiveness of SSP with individuals with co-occurring SUD and trauma.

      Why Other Patients Applied

      "I was diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer three months ago, metastatic to my liver, and I have been receiving and responding well to chemotherapy. My blood work revealed that my tumor markers have gone from 2600 in the beginning to 173 as of now, even with the delay in treatment, they are not going up. CT Scans reveal they have been shrinking as well. However, chemo is seriously deteriorating my body. I have 4 more treatments to go in this 12 treatment cycle. I am just interested in learning about my other options, if any are available to me."

      PATH vs PMR for PTSD and Depression

      Newark, Delaware
      The R33 will be a randomized controlled trial to replicate changes in the targets (unproductive processing, avoidance, reward deficits) from the R61 phase in a larger sample of 135 participants who have experienced a destabilizing life event involving profound loss or threat, report persistent stressor-related symptoms of PTSD and/or depression, and are elevated on symptoms related to 2 of the 3 therapeutic targets. Additionally, this study will examine Positive Processes and Transition to Health (PATH)'s impact on stressor-related psychopathology in comparison to Progressive Muscle Relaxation (PMR). In the R33 phase, the investigators will examine changes in target mechanisms predicting improvements in PTSD and depressive symptoms, as well as feasibility and acceptability. Patients will receive 6 sessions of PATH or PMR (with 2 boosters, if partial responders). Primary targets will be assessed at pre-treatment, week 3, post-treatment, and at 1- and 3-month follow-up; secondary targets at pre-treatment, weekly during treatment, post-treatment, and at 1- and 3-month follow-ups.

      Online Treatment Platform for Traumatic Stress Disorders

      Québec
      There are 636,000 self-reported cases of sexual assault annually in Canada, and nine out of ten persons who have experienced sexual assault are women. Cognitive and behavioural therapies (CBT) are the treatment of choice for many psychological problems arising from sexual assault. However, accessing CBT is a significant challenge, especially for women who have experienced sexual assault who may be ashamed and not disclose the sexual assault. Online CBT is an effective option to circumvent these barriers. In addition to being accessible and less resource-intensive, studies report that patients are less inhibited and that the online environment provides greater emotional safety. There is also a growing body of evidence that online CBT programs requiring little or no contact with a mental health professional are effective, this having been demonstrated primarily with individuals with anxiety and mood disorders. But when it comes to treating the psychological symptoms of sexual assault in potentially vulnerable individuals, can we really suggest a self-care approach? There is no direct empirical evidence to support such a recommendation, and it is this important question that this project wishes to address. To compare the effectiveness, acceptability and user engagement in a self-managed treatment platform with or without the support of a therapist to reduce post-traumatic symptoms, depression and insomnia in people who have suffered one or more sexual assaults, 204 victims of sexual assault experiencing significant distress will be recruited and randomly assigned to either the self-managed or the therapist-assisted online treatment condition. Participants will complete measures assessing post-traumatic stress disorder, insomnia, depression, anxiety, and maladaptive beliefs before, during, after and 3 months after treatment. Secondary outcome will be and appreciation of the online treatment measures by a self-report questionnaire and a semi-structured interview. If effective in reducing symptoms, this treatment would offer the potential to support a self-care approach to treating a wide range of psychological symptoms resulting from sexual assault. The self-managed online platform would fill a service gap deplored by this population.

      Stellate Ganglion Block for PTSD

      Ottawa, Ontario
      The most common treatment for Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is trauma-focused therapy and/or prescription of medication(s). However, these treatments may not directly reduce symptoms associated with PTSD, making it difficult for patients to be treated for this condition and recover. Stellate ganglion block (SGB) is a medical procedure that involves injection of a local anesthetic (a medication that causes reduced sensation/feeling in a given area) around the stellate ganglion, which is a collection of nerves near the base of the neck. This procedure causes a short-lived, temporary shutdown of nerve signals (up to 5-7 hours) and is commonly performed in Canada for certain pain and medical conditions. In the last decade, several studies, including those involving members of military groups, have shown that SGB can result in a rapid and sustained drop in symptoms related to PTSD such as overwhelming anxiety, increased irritability, heightened alertness, and exaggerated startle. Considering these results and the known safety of this procedure (as demonstrated by previous research and use in other illnesses), SGB has been increasingly used to treat PTSD among veterans in the United States but has not yet been evaluated in Canada. More research is thereby needed to use SBG as a method of PTSD treatment in Canada, and to better understand how it works to reduce symptoms associated with this condition. Health Canada, the organization which oversees clinical trials such as this one, has not approved the use of the SGB procedure for PTSD in the general population, however Health Canada has allowed the use of SGB in this study to better understand how it works and how it may be used in the future to treat PTSD-related symptoms in those who feel that common treatments are not effective.

      Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for PTSD

      Rochester, New York
      Resilient Roots is integrated into the TRANSFORM Center to promote translation of research findings into clinical interventions, to inform the next generation of research on child abuse and neglect (CAN), and to facilitate dissemination of research and practice knowledge/skills to varied stakeholders. Exposure to CAN frequently results in long-term detrimental effects on mental health. For youth who have experienced socioecological stress, the trauma associated with CAN may be compounded by stress and trauma deriving from experiences of stress in their communities. Interventions to address specific socioecological stress for symptomatic youth receiving human centered mental health services are lacking, and use of mental health services that are acceptable to families are too often misaligned with their representation in the population in general and overrepresentation in the child welfare system specifically. Incorporating support for families in enhancing socialization and coping skills specific to addressing contextual stress and trauma has relevance for public health. Although Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) is an evidence-based treatment for children who have experienced CAN, determining best practices for implementing enhanced TF-CBT with socialization components is urgently needed to address these gaps and provide optimal intervention. Resilient Roots is a pilot study within a RE-AIM/PRISM framework (including Reach, Effectiveness, Adoption, Implementation, and Maintenance with emphasis on contextual factors at multiple levels of the implementation setting) that will incorporate stakeholder perspectives and evaluate the incorporation of socialization into enhanced TF-CBT, while identifying barriers and facilitators to implementation to guide future larger-scale trials.

      Frequently Asked Questions

      How much do Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder clinical trials in Boston, MA pay?

      Each trial will compensate patients a different amount, but $50-100 for each visit is a fairly common range for Phase 2–4 trials (Phase 1 trials often pay substantially more). Further, most trials will cover the costs of a travel to-and-from the clinic.

      How do Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder clinical trials in Boston, MA work?

      After a researcher reviews your profile, they may choose to invite you in to a screening appointment, where they'll determine if you meet 100% of the eligibility requirements. If you do, you'll be sorted into one of the treatment groups, and receive your study drug. For some trials, there is a chance you'll receive a placebo. Across Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder trials in Boston, MA 30% of clinical trials have a placebo. Typically, you'll be required to check-in with the clinic every month or so. The average trial length in Boston, MA for Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder is 12 months.

      How do I participate in a study as a "healthy volunteer"?

      Not all studies recruit healthy volunteers: usually, Phase 1 studies do. Participating as a healthy volunteer means you will go to a research facility in Boston, MA several times over a few days or weeks to receive a dose of either the test treatment or a "placebo," which is a harmless substance that helps researchers compare results. You will have routine tests during these visits, and you'll be compensated for your time and travel, with the number of appointments and details varying by study.

      What does the "phase" of a clinical trial mean?

      The phase of a trial reveals what stage the drug is in to get approval for a specific condition. Phase 1 trials are the trials to collect safety data in humans. Phase 2 trials are those where the drug has some data showing safety in humans, but where further human data is needed on drug effectiveness. Phase 3 trials are in the final step before approval. The drug already has data showing both safety and effectiveness. As a general rule, Phase 3 trials are more promising than Phase 2, and Phase 2 trials are more promising than phase 1.

      Do I need to be insured to participate in a Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder medical study in Boston, MA?

      Clinical trials are almost always free to participants, and so do not require insurance. The only exception here are trials focused on cancer, because only a small part of the typical treatment plan is actually experimental. For these cancer trials, participants typically need insurance to cover all the non-experimental components.

      What are the newest Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder clinical trials in Boston, MA?

      Most recently, we added Acceptance and Commitment Therapy for PTSD and Alcohol Use Disorder, Self-Help Intervention for Depression and PTSD and Psilocybin for Depression to the Power online platform.

      What is the new treatment for PTSD?

      The two headline “new” approaches are MDMA-assisted psychotherapy—which has shown large symptom reductions in Phase-3 trials and could gain FDA approval soon—and the stellate ganglion block, an ultrasound-guided neck injection that can rapidly calm the nervous system and is already offered off-label by some pain specialists. Both are considered add-ons rather than replacements for proven trauma-focused talk therapies, and access currently means enrolling in a clinical trial for MDMA or seeing an experienced clinician for an SGB after discussing possible benefits, side-effects, and costs. If you’re interested, talk with a PTSD-trained mental-health professional to see whether one of these emerging treatments fits your situation.

      What are the 7 symptoms of PTSD?

      Clinicians group PTSD signs into four clusters, but popular summaries often point to seven tell-tale symptoms: intrusive memories or flashbacks, trauma-related nightmares, avoiding reminders, ongoing negative mood or beliefs, constant jumpiness/hyper-alertness, sudden irritability or anger, and trouble sleeping or concentrating. If several of these have lasted more than a month and are disrupting daily life, it’s time to talk with a mental-health professional because effective therapies and medications are available.

      What is the difference between PTSD and clinical PTSD?

      “Clinical PTSD” is not a formal medical label; most people use it to describe either (a) a full, doctor-confirmed PTSD diagnosis (meeting all four symptom clusters of intrusion, avoidance, negative mood/thoughts, and hyper-arousal) rather than a few stray symptoms, or (b) Complex PTSD, a newer ICD-11 diagnosis that includes all the usual PTSD features plus persistent problems with emotion control, negative self-view, and relationships after prolonged or repeated trauma. In short, standard PTSD focuses on how a single or short-lived traumatic event is re-experienced, whereas “clinical/complex” PTSD implies either full diagnostic severity or an added layer of long-term self-and-relationship difficulties—something a qualified mental-health professional can sort out and treat with trauma-focused therapy and, when needed, medication.

      Does complex PTSD ever go away?

      Complex PTSD can and often does get much better—many people reach full remission or only occasional, manageable flare-ups once they’ve had consistent, trauma-focused treatment (such as EMDR, TF-CBT, or a phase-based approach that first builds safety skills and then processes the trauma). How long that takes varies; factors like the length of the original abuse, other mental-health conditions, and access to supportive relationships and specialized care influence recovery, which is why some people need longer-term therapy or periodic “tune-ups.” In short, the condition isn’t necessarily lifelong, but viewing it as a journey—with professional help, skills practice, and a strong support network—gives the best odds of lasting relief.

      Why is EMDR controversial?

      Controversy arises from three fronts: first, although many studies now show EMDR can reduce post-traumatic stress as well as traditional exposure therapies, earlier weak studies and some mixed results planted doubt. Second, research shows the eye movements themselves may add little beyond standard exposure, so experts argue over the true mechanism and whether the name oversells a simple idea. Third, professional bodies only “conditionally” recommend EMDR and warn that brief weekend trainings can produce under-qualified providers, leading some clinicians to view it as over-marketed. Understanding these evidence, mechanism, and training debates explains why opinions on EMDR still differ.

      Does PTSD count as a disability?

      Yes. PTSD is legally treated as a disability whenever its symptoms are documented to substantially limit major life activities: Social Security can grant cash benefits, the VA can award a disability rating for service-connected stress, and the ADA requires employers to offer reasonable job accommodations. Collect medical records that show both a formal PTSD diagnosis and how it disrupts work, school, or daily tasks—the same principle applies in most other countries’ disability systems.

      How to heal from trauma without therapy?

      Begin by checking safety: if you’re having thoughts of self-harm, losing touch with reality, or using substances to cope, call a crisis line (e.g., 988 in the U.S.) or seek professional help. Otherwise, think of recovery in three daily practices—steady your body (slow breathing, walking, yoga), give the story gentle airtime (15-minute journaling or a free app like PTSD Coach), and reconnect with supportive people and purposeful activities—while tracking sleep, mood, and triggers each week to see progress. If symptoms stay the same or worsen after a couple of months of consistent effort, that’s your signal to add a trained therapist, group program, or tele-health option.

      What diagnosis is close to PTSD?

      The diagnosis most often mistaken for PTSD is Acute Stress Disorder—symptoms can look identical, but they start within days of the trauma and fade within a month; if they last longer, the label changes to PTSD. Clinicians also consider Complex PTSD (a longer-term form after chronic abuse), Adjustment Disorder (stress-triggered distress without flashbacks), and common anxiety or depression disorders that share sleep, mood or panic problems but are not tied to a specific traumatic memory. A mental-health professional sorts these out by asking about the kind of event that happened, how long symptoms have lasted, and whether true “re-experiencing” (flashbacks or nightmares of the trauma) is present.

      Why is PTSD so hard to treat?

      PTSD is tough to heal because severe stress literally rewires the brain’s alarm and memory centres, every person’s trauma history is different, and the core symptoms (avoidance, distrust, numbness) make it hard to start or stay in treatment. Recovery therefore usually requires a personalised mix of approaches—such as trauma-focused therapy, medication, and skills for sleep and safety—and patience while you and your clinician adjust the plan. The good news is that most people do improve, and newer tools like EMDR, virtual-reality exposure, ketamine or MDMA-assisted therapy are widening the options when first-line methods fall short.

      Does Stellate ganglion block work for PTSD?

      A stellate ganglion block can quiet the “fight-or-flight” nerves, and small studies—mainly in military populations—show it can lessen PTSD symptoms in roughly half of patients for a month or two; other trials have found no clear benefit, so results are mixed. Because evidence is still limited and short-term, specialists usually offer SGB only as an adjunct to proven treatments (therapy, medications) after weighing its brief relief against the need for repeat injections and the procedure’s small but real risks (infection, hoarse voice, temporary eyelid droop). Discussing it with a trauma-focused mental-health provider and an experienced pain or anesthesia physician can help decide if this experimental option makes sense in your overall care plan.
