NCT ID NCT07498257
First seen Mar 30, 2026 · Last updated May 14, 2026 · Updated 9 times
Summary
This study adapts Written Exposure Therapy (WET), a 5-session talk therapy proven effective for adults with PTSD, for teens aged 12-18. Researchers will first gather feedback from experts and teens, then test the adapted version against the standard 12-16 session therapy in 48 adolescents. The goal is to see if a shorter treatment can work just as well, making PTSD care more accessible for young people.
