Summary

This pilot study tests a 12-session virtual therapy that combines proven treatments for PTSD and chronic pain. Twenty adults with both conditions will attend twice-weekly sessions over six weeks. The goal is to see if this integrated approach is feasible and acceptable, and whether it improves symptoms more than treating each condition separately.
