Summary

This pilot study tests whether trauma-focused therapy delivered via videoconference is feasible and acceptable for adults with PTSD or complex PTSD. Researchers will enroll 13 people from community mental health services in Chile. The study focuses on whether people will join, stay, and be satisfied with the therapy, and also looks at changes in symptoms.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy delivered via videoconference
What this could lead to
If this works, it could show that video therapy is a practical way to treat PTSD and C-PTSD in community mental health settings.
What could go wrong
This is a very small pilot study with only 13 people, so results may not apply widely. It tests feasibility, not effectiveness, and may fail to show clear benefits.
