Summary

This completed trial tested a personalized version of Cognitive Rehabilitation and Exposure/Sorting Therapy (CREST) for veterans with hoarding disorder. The therapy was delivered at home via telemedicine and home visits over 24 sessions. Researchers compared it to standard case management in 60 veterans to see if it improved daily functioning, hoarding symptoms, and quality of life.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Cognitive Rehabilitation and Exposure/Sorting Therapy (CREST)
What this could lead to
If successful, this approach could offer a more effective, home-based treatment for hoarding disorder, helping veterans reduce clutter and improve daily living skills.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 60 participants, so results may not apply to all. The therapy is intensive (24 sessions) and may not work for everyone.
