The goal is to reduce lingering symptoms and prevent relapse. About 24 veterans will take part, combining in-person skill groups with online sessions and homework.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: hybrid dialectical behavior therapy (DBT)
What this could lead to: If it works, this could help veterans maintain progress and avoid relapse of PTSD and emotion regulation problems after intensive treatment.
What could go wrong: This is a very small early study with only 24 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The intervention is an add-on to existing care, and benefits may be modest.
