Filter by:Objective: OEF/OIF (Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom) veterans are presenting with high rates of PTSD. Translating Initiatives for Depression into Effective Solutions (TIDES) is a model of phone-based care being implemented nationally as a model to address those patients suffering from depression, PTSD, or alcohol use disorders. However, evidence-based treatments do not yet exist for phone-based management of OEF/OIF veterans who suffer from PTSD. Research Plan: This is an open trial to assess feasibility of augmenting standard treatment of PTSD with TIDES based telephone-based nurse care management.
The scientific objective of this program is to meet the rehabilitation needs of combat wounded Veterans with mild to moderate Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) via telerehabilitation and determine the effect of this modality of care on patients' physical health and outcomes including function and community participation. The investigators will also evaluate the benefits and limitations of rehabilitation using telehealth from the Veteran and caregiver perspectives and evaluate the impact of rehabilitation via telehealth on Veterans Administration (VA) healthcare facility use.
In an on-going study of visual characteristics of personnel diagnosed with a mild traumatic brain injury (MTBI) related to their service in Iraq and Afghanistan we found a high rate of binocular vision problems (such as double/blurry vision, reading difficult, etc.). These individuals are also usually diagnosed with post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). PTSD is known to cause some vision symptoms. We wish to conduct this study on individuals with PTSD (but not an MTBI) to see if they have symptoms similar to those in individuals who have MTBI. This will provide us with information useful in determining the specific cause of the visual symptoms in the MTBI population.
This study will evaluate the effectiveness of cognitive behavioral couples therapy designed for post-traumatic stress disorder in reducing symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder and in improving relationship functioning.
This study will evaluate the effectiveness of propranolol in reducing symptoms of distress in people with post-traumatic stress disorder.
Patient self-efficacy, or confidence in one's ability to take the necessary steps to achieve a goal, has been shown to influence a number of important health behaviors and outcomes. However, current ways of increasing patient self-efficacy are time and labor intensive and occur away from doctor visits, where most health care is delivered. We developed, and are testing in a study the effectiveness of a new way of teaching doctors how to talk to patients during office visits in a way that will boost their patients' self-efficacy for changing important health behaviors.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether Trauma focused cognitive behavioral therapy (TF-CBT)is more effective in the treatment of traumatized youth than treatment as usual(TAU).
Recent needs assessments suggest that difficulties exist in care coordination between emergency medical services (EMS) systems and primary care for injured adolescents with alcohol problems and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). This project will implement, evaluate, and disseminate the adolescent trauma support service model program that aims to enhance coordination between EMS systems and primary care/community services.
This study will compare the effectiveness of trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy versus standard care in treating children with post-traumatic stress disorder.
This study will evaluate the effectiveness of a brief cognitive behavioral treatment, Helping to Overcome PTSD through Empowerment, in treating abused women with post-traumatic stress disorder who are living in shelters.
