Exercise after fear training boosts PTSD recovery in new study
NCT ID NCT07548125
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether different levels of exercise can help people with PTSD remember fear-reduction lessons better. 200 adults with PTSD will do a 3-day fear learning and extinction task, then either rest or do light, moderate, or high-intensity exercise. The goal is to see if exercise strengthens the brain's ability to hold onto safety memories, which could improve exposure therapy outcomes.
