NCT ID NCT05967962
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether people with sensory modulation problems (like being overly sensitive to sounds or touch) are more likely to develop PTSD after a traumatic event. Researchers showed 248 healthy adults a stressful film and tracked their memories, pain sensitivity, and stress hormones. The goal was to understand how sensory issues might make someone more vulnerable to PTSD.
