Non-Trauma Treatment for PTSD and TBI in Veterans

This study is testing a new approach called "Non-Trauma Treatment for TBI and PTSD" for military veterans and service members who have both post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and a mild or moderate traumatic brain injury (TBI). This treatment involves 8 individual counseling sessions, each lasting about an hour, focusing on relaxation, stress management, and problem-solving. Researchers want to see if this treatment helps reduce PTSD symptoms. You might be able to join if you are a veteran or active duty service member, at least 18 years old, and have been diagnosed with mild or moderate TBI. The study is currently unclear on its recruitment status and plans to enroll 30 participants.
