Enhancing Week-long Psychological Treatment for PTSD With Ketamine (NCT05737693)
Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) Treatment: Using Ketamine to Enhance Memory Reconsolidation and Extinction of Overgeneralized Fear in Individuals Diagnosed With PTSD
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
The purpose of this study is to test if the combination of ketamine, vs midazolam, with an intensive trauma-focused psychotherapy will be more effective in relieving post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). This week-long treatment has the potential to produce a significant therapeutic effect that otherwise would take months to occur. The study will also focus on learning about the neurophysiological changes produced by the proposed clinical trial.
