Behavioral Intervention
AIR Sleep Treatment for PTSD-related Sleep Disorders
This trial uses video calls to help veterans with PTSD, sleep apnea, and insomnia improve their sleep and daily functioning. The main goal is to enhance their quality of life by teaching better sleep habits. Veterans will also give feedback on how practical and acceptable they find the treatment.
Behavioral Intervention
Cognitive-Behavioral Treatment for PTSD-Related Nightmares in Veterans
This trial is investigating whether a cognitive-behavioral treatment can reduce trauma-related nightmares in Veterans. The study uses extended, in-home sleep monitoring to capture sleep data associated with nightmare reports, and assess how these features are altered throughout the treatment.
Psychedelic
Psilocybin for PTSD
This trial aims to test if using psilocybin along with therapy can safely and effectively treat PTSD in U.S. Military Veterans. Psilocybin helps change brain activity, making it easier for veterans to process their trauma during therapy.

Wraparound Intervention for Families with Substance Use Disorders
This trial is testing whether the Wraparound intervention can help families with substance use disorders who have children placed outside the home or are at risk of such placement. The investigators hypothesize that families receiving Wraparound will have better parenting and family functioning outcomes, child safety, permanency, and well-being, and parental recovery than families receiving treatment as usual.
Behavioural Intervention
Cognitive Processing + Self-Compassion Therapies for PTSD
This trialwill assess whether Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) and Self-Compassion (SC) interventions reduce trauma-related mental contamination and PTSD symptoms among individuals who experienced sexual trauma.
Behavioral Intervention
START for Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder
This trial tests a new treatment called START, which helps veterans with PTSD reduce their reliance on anxiety-avoiding behaviors. It targets veterans who avoid traditional PTSD therapies. By reducing these 'safety aids,' the treatment aims to help them face their fears and feel less anxious over time.

Augmented Exposure Therapy +1 More for Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder
Therapy that uses Virtual Reality (VR) has been shown to help in the treatment of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). It is unclear what role the VR simulator itself plays in recovery. This study is examining if full-immersion in VR causes greater improvement in PTSD symptoms than does similar therapy that uses a simple, static, computer image.
Serotonin-Norepinephrine Reuptake Inhibitor
Duloxetine for Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder
The purpose of this study is to determine whether Duloxetine (Cymbalta®) is an effective treatment in reducing the symptoms of Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).
CNS Stimulant
Modafinil for Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder
The purpose of this study is to determine if modafinil is more effective than placebo in the treatment of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in male combat veterans who have been deployed to Iraq or Afghanistan.
Beta Blocker
Propranolol for Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder
Objective: To use propranolol to treat established chronic post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) by reducing reconsolidation of the reactivated trauma memory. Hypothesis: A series of treatments with propranolol, in comparison to placebo, will produce a significant reduction in PTSD symptom severity in participants with chronic PTSD. Study Design: This is a double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized study. Methodology: Twenty-five participants per group with chronic PTSD will be recruited. On their first visit psychodiagnostic and psychometric evaluation will take place. In addition, script-preparation for the script-driven imagery procedure will occur. Following this, the participants will return each week for a period of 6 weeks to participate in the reactivation sessions with propranolol or placebo (participants assigned to the propranolol condition will receive propranolol throughout, and participants assigned to the placebo condition will receive placebo throughout). Two weeks later, the participants will return for a follow-up of the psychodiagnostic and psychometric evaluation, as well as psychophysiological assessment using script-driven imagery procedure. Data Analysis: A two-factor analysis of variance (ANOVA) for repeated measures will be performed on study completers. The Drug factor will have two levels: propranolol and placebo. The Time factor will have two levels: pre-treatment and post-treatment. We predict a significant Drug x Time interaction, more precisely a greater decrease in PTSD severity in the propranolol than in the placebo group. The psychophysiological data will be contrasted to a normative cutoff score for PTSD.
Behavioral Intervention
RTM vs PE for PTSD
This trial is testing a novel treatment for PTSD called reconsolidation of memories (RTM) versus the current best treatment, prolonged exposure (PE). The goal is to see if RTM is better at reducing symptoms, improving cognitive function, and achieving remission.

Frequently Asked Questions
Introduction to post traumatic stress disorder
What are the top hospitals conducting post traumatic stress disorder research?
When it comes to advancing the understanding and treatment of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), several hospitals are at the forefront of groundbreaking clinical trials. In Lexington, Kentucky, the University of Kentucky Clinic for Emotional Health (CEH) is making significant strides with three ongoing PTSD trials. Though relatively new to this area of research, CEH has already made an impact since recording its first trial in 2020. On the other side of the country, in San Francisco, California's San Francisco VA Medical Center is also actively contributing with three active PTSD trials and a history of conducting 15 studies on this condition since their inaugural trial in 2009.
Meanwhile, in Durham, North carolina's Durham VA Medical Center shares similar achievements by currently conducting three active PTSD trials while having completed 15 previous studies since their initial trial back in 2004. Additionally adding itself to this list is Philadelphia's Corporal Michael J. Crescenz VA Medical Center where two ongoing clinical tests focus on treating combat-related PTSD cases; they have been tirelessly working towards finding solutions ever since starting its pioneering investigations way back until 2009.
In Gainesville lies Sarkis Clinical Trials which may appear smaller-scale but does play a significant role as well, contributing through two current post-traumatic stress disorder clinical trials and holding commendable track record consisting only three previously held investigations from about ten years ago; tracing it back to just2012.
These hospitals represent beacons of hope for individuals grappling with post-traumatic stress disorder across the nation. The tireless efforts put forth by these institutions exemplify our collective commitment towards helping those who have experienced trauma find healing and resilience once more

What are the most recent clinical trials for post traumatic stress disorder?
Multiple clinical trials are currently underway to explore new treatments and approaches for individuals suffering from post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). One promising avenue is MDMA-assisted therapy, where the use of MDMA in conjunction with therapy has shown potential in addressing PTSD symptoms. Additionally, a study focusing on mismatch reactivation condition aims to identify effective interventions for PTSD by targeting memory processes. Another trial investigates the efficacy of brexanolone, while another explores intranasal insulin as potential treatment options. Lastly, an active drug is being tested through both Phase 2 and Phase 3 trials to evaluate its effectiveness in managing PTSD symptoms. These ongoing studies offer hope for improved therapies and better outcomes for those affected by this debilitating disorder
