Augmenting Massed Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) to Prevent Suicide Risk Among Patients With PTSD
{ "Massed Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) for PTSD and Suicide Risk", "This study is looking at whether adding Crisis Response Planning (CRP) to Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) can help reduce suicidal thoughts and behaviors in military members and veterans with Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). CPT is a type of talk therapy for PTSD, and CRP is a brief plan to help people manage emotional crises. You would receive 10 sessions of CPT over two weeks. The study aims to see if combining these treatments leads to better outcomes. Researchers will measure changes in your PTSD symptoms and suicidal thoughts and behaviors over 12 months. The study is currently unclear on its recruitment status and plans to enroll 190 participants.", "design": "This study will enroll 190 participants and randomly assign them to one of two groups: CPT plus Crisis Response Planning (CRP) or CPT plus standard safety planning.", "commitments": "You would receive 10 daily sessions of Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) over two consecutive weeks. Your PTSD symptoms and suicidal thoughts will be checked at the start and up to 12 months later.", "compensation": "Not stated in the trial record.", "follow_up": "Your PTSD symptoms and suicidal thoughts and behaviors will be monitored for 12 months after treatment.", }

What this trial measures
- PTSD Checklist for DSM-5 (PCL-5)From baseline to 12-months follow up
The PTSD Checklist for the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (PCL-5) is a 20-item self-report measure used to assess PTSD symptom severity and monitor clinical change over time. Each item is rated on a 5-point scale (0 = Not at all to 4 = Extremely), yielding a total score ranging from 0 to 80, with higher scores indicating worse PTSD symptom severity.
- Self-Injurious Thoughts and Behaviors Interview-Revised (SITBI-R)Baseline to 12 months posttreatment
The Self-Injurious Thoughts and Behaviors Interview-Revised (SITBI-R) is a structured clinical interview assessing the presence and characteristics of suicidal and nonsuicidal thoughts and behaviors. The SITBI-R does not produce a single total score; instead, each item is coded dichotomously as 0 = "No" or 1 = "Yes" to indicate the presence of a given thought or behavior. Higher item values indicate the presence of the self-injurious thought or behavior being assessed.
