Active substance

prolonged exposure and EMDR therapy

What this could lead to

If successful, this could show that a short, intensive therapy program effectively reduces PTSD symptoms and improves daily functioning.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early-stage study with only 42 participants and no control group, so results may not apply broadly. The treatment is intensive and may not suit everyone.
