Clinical Trial Description

Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is considered to be a major Public Health disorder in the Western world with 8% prevalence. When including partial/Sub-clinic PTSD, prevalence rises dramatically. Studies examining the common intervention methods indicate certain clinical effectiveness although none presents sweeping efficiency. Therefore, this syndrome is still a significant clinical problem in Public Health.

This study focuses on women population who have experienced trauma in childbirth. Such women experience full post traumatic symptoms (Full PTSD) or Partial/Subclinical PTSD. This syndrome is defined in professional literature as PPPTSD (Post-Partum Post Traumatic Stress Disorder). While childbirth is a healthy part of the cycle of life, birth itself is an event that may involve a risk to the mother and child life. PPPTSD prevalence ranges between 1%-6% and is expressed in at least two of the criteria listed in the DSM. 8.3%-28% of women suffer from partial PPPTSD.

Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) is a "one-on-one" intervention method, connecting Neurological processes (N), Linguistic (L) and learned behaviors (P), in order to allow conceptual/perceptual, mental and behavioral changes. Even though NLP is used since the 1970's and field testimonies report its effectiveness, there are only few studies regarding its effectiveness in the field of PTSD.

This study's main objective is to examine the effectiveness of the NLP PTSD protocol.

The study population will include approx 30 women, up to 2 years after birth, with PPPTSD. The women will be treated in 5 individual sessions implementing the NLP PTSD protocol. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
