Summary

This study tests whether adding augmented reality (AR) to standard exposure therapy helps U.S. military personnel with PTSD feel better. Forty veterans or active-duty members will be split into two groups: one gets AR-enhanced therapy, the other gets therapy alone. Researchers will compare PTSD symptoms, social anxiety, and treatment satisfaction between the groups.
