What this could lead to: If it works, this app could offer a new, accessible way to reduce PTSD symptoms without medication or in-person therapy.
What could go wrong: This is a small, early-phase trial with only 40 people. The app may not outperform the placebo app, and results may not apply to everyone with PTSD.
