Summary

This study tests whether a short, modified exposure therapy given soon after rape can prevent post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in women. About 166 women who have experienced sexual assault will be randomly assigned to either the brief therapy or standard care. The goal is to see if early intervention reduces PTSD symptoms and related issues like depression and anxiety.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
modified prolonged exposure therapy (brief cognitive behavioral therapy)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could provide a simple, short therapy to prevent PTSD in women after rape.
What could go wrong
This is a relatively small trial (166 women) and results may not apply to all survivors. The therapy may not be effective for everyone.
