Cognitive Training for Functioning in PTSD (NCT07693686)
Cognitive Training to Address Functioning and Symptoms in Veterans With Posttraumatic Stress Disorder
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
The proposed study will test a novel, computerized treatment for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) to determine if it helps Veterans functionally recover as measured by reduced cognitive disability and PTSD symptoms. To do so, investigators will evaluate the effects of a cognitive training program that is designed to improve people's ability to manage information in working memory. Investigators will measure self-reported symptoms and disability alongside day-to-day cognition and functioning. The project support the VA Office of Research and Development's mission to improve Veteran participation in their lives and community by determining if this new approach can improve recovery from trauma and exploring for whom the intervention works.
