NCT ID NCT07720674
First seen Jul 22, 2026 · Last updated Jul 23, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial tests whether a 12-session trauma-focused cognitive-behavioral therapy called SEE FAR CBT can reduce PTSD symptoms in adults aged 18 and older. Participants attend weekly therapy sessions and complete questionnaires about PTSD, anxiety, and depression at the start, after treatment, and three months later. The study aims to see if this structured talk therapy leads to lasting improvements in psychological well-being.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- a 12-session trauma-focused cognitive-behavioral therapy called SEE FAR CBT
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could offer a structured, short-term therapy option for reducing PTSD and related anxiety and depression symptoms.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, single-arm study with no placebo or comparison group, so any improvements may be due to time or attention rather than the therapy itself. Results may not generalize to all PTSD patients.
