Personalizing PTSD care: motivation and choice may boost recovery
NCT ID NCT06755710
First seen Jul 14, 2026 · Last updated Jul 15, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether adding a motivation-enhancing module and a shared decision-making session before standard PTSD treatment can reduce dropout and improve outcomes. Adults with PTSD at two clinics are randomly assigned to receive standard care, the motivation module plus standard care, or the motivation module plus a choice among four treatments. The goal is to see if engaging patients more actively leads to better results.
