Summary
This pilot study is testing a 12-session virtual therapy that combines two proven treatments—one for PTSD and one for chronic pain—into a single program. Researchers want to see if this integrated approach is feasible and acceptable for adults who suffer from both conditions. The study will enroll 20 participants and measure things like session attendance, satisfaction, and changes in symptoms.
