Enhancing Memory in CPT for PTSD
This study is looking at ways to improve Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) for older Veterans with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). CPT is a type of talk therapy. Researchers want to see if adding "Memory Support" strategies to CPT helps people learn and remember the therapy content better, which could lead to better treatment results. You might be able to join if you are a Veteran over 59 years old with a PTSD diagnosis. The study will compare standard CPT to CPT with Memory Support. Success will be measured by changes in your PTSD symptoms, using a tool called the PTSD Checklist-5 (PCL-5), measured through the end of treatment (12-16 weeks). The current status of this study is unclear, and it plans to enroll 30 participants.
