NCT ID NCT06571513

Summary

This study tested if a brief, virtual writing therapy could help prevent post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in women after a recent sexual assault. Researchers enrolled 30 women who received care from a sexual assault nurse examiner. Participants were randomly assigned to either the writing therapy or a control writing exercise, delivered over five video sessions, to see if the therapy was feasible and showed early signs of reducing PTSD symptoms.
