Summary

This study explores whether aquatic therapy can help veterans with PTSD. Fifty participants will receive 16 weeks of one-on-one sessions in a warm pool, followed by 16 weeks of group exercises. Researchers will measure changes in PTSD symptoms, sleep, and quality of life to see if this approach is feasible and effective.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Aquatic therapy (warm water pool sessions and group exercises)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a new, non-invasive treatment option for veterans with PTSD, especially those who don't benefit from standard care.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early feasibility study with no control group, so results may not be generalizable. The intervention is safe, but individual responses may vary.
