Medications
for PTSD-Related Insomnia
Many Veterans with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) have trouble sleeping or have frequent nightmares. So far, no medication has been approved for treatment of insomnia in PTSD. The purpose of this research study is to find out if taking medications called trazodone or eszopiclone can help decrease symptoms of insomnia in patients with PTSD. PTSD is a form of intense anxiety which sometimes results from severe trauma. Symptoms may include nightmares, flashbacks, troublesome memories, difficulty sleeping, poor concentration, irritability, anger, and emotional withdrawal. Insomnia is a disorder that can make it hard to fall sleep, stay asleep or cause a person to wake up too early and not be able to fall back to sleep.

Growth Hormone Replacement
for Gulf War Illness
This trial is testing if giving synthetic growth hormone to veterans with Gulf War Illness and growth hormone deficiency can reduce body fat and improve their symptoms. The study will check if this treatment is safe and effective over several months. If successful, it could lead to better care for these veterans. Growth hormone (GH) treatment has been shown to increase height velocity in children with Prader-Willi syndrome, decrease weight-for-height index values and body fat mass, and have a positive effect on lean body mass during therapy.
