Abstract

Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) can be a severe problem, affecting veterans and military personnel at higher rates than the general community.

This paper presents the RESTORE trial protocol, the first randomized controlled trial of massed PE therapy outside of the United States and by an independent research group. One hundred and thirty-five Australian Defence Force members and veterans (18-80 years) who meet criteria for PTSD related to a military trauma will be randomly allocated to one of two conditions: standard PE (SPE; 10 weekly 90-min sessions) or massed PE (MPE; 10 daily 90-min sessions).

The primary outcome is clinician-measured and self-reported PTSD symptom severity at the 12 week assessment. We hypothesize that MPE will be as effective as SPE in reducing PTSD severity at 12 weeks post-treatment commencement. The adaptation and testing of evidence-based i...Continue Reading
