NCT ID NCT07680517
First seen Jul 02, 2026 · Last updated Jul 02, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a short-term, intensive form of PTSD therapy can quickly reduce symptoms and improve thinking skills in military personnel. Participants receive either Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) over a condensed period. The goal is to see if this approach leads to lasting improvement in PTSD and cognitive performance.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could provide a rapid and effective treatment option for PTSD in military personnel, reducing symptoms and improving cognitive function in a short time frame.
What could go wrong
This is a relatively small study (120 participants) focused on a specific military population, so results may not apply to civilians. The intensive format may not be suitable for everyone, and long-term benefits are not yet known.
