Could a common ADHD drug ease the mental fog of PTSD? VA launches trial
NCT ID NCT05776056
Summary
This study is testing if methylphenidate (a stimulant medication often used for ADHD) can help Veterans with PTSD who struggle with concentration, memory, and keeping up with tasks. Over 20 weeks, 70 participants will alternate between taking the medication and a placebo (inactive pill) in a random order to see which one better reduces their PTSD and thinking-related symptoms. The goal is to find a new treatment option for Veterans whose current treatments don't fully relieve all their difficulties.
