Summary

This study is testing whether a low dose of clonidine, a drug usually used for high blood pressure, can help veterans with PTSD sleep better and feel less stressed. About 32 veterans will take the drug for 6 weeks while researchers track changes in sleep quality, PTSD symptoms, and mood. The goal is to see if this safe, affordable medicine can ease both daytime and nighttime PTSD symptoms.
