NCT ID NCT05243459
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study tested a new therapy that uses eye-tracking to help veterans with PTSD change how they look at threatening faces. The treatment, called Gaze-Contingent Music Reward Therapy, gives feedback based on where participants look, aiming to reduce stress. The trial included 121 veterans and compared this approach to a standard attention training task and a control group. The study was terminated early, so its findings are limited.
