First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study follows 300 Ukrainian veterans who lost a limb in combat to see if longer evacuation times or extended tourniquet use increase the risk of developing PTSD. Participants will be monitored for 18 months using PTSD symptom questionnaires. The goal is to identify factors that could be changed to reduce psychological harm after severe battlefield injuries.
