Clinical Trial Summary

The aim of this study was to determine the usefulness of a portable, meditation-based intervention called the Mantram Repetition Program (MRP) for Veterans with military-related posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). This study compared the individual delivery of the MRP to individual delivery of Present-Centered Therapy (PCT) at two sites in San Diego, California, and Bedford, Massachusetts.


Clinical Trial Description

The investigators conducted a prospective, parallel group, two-site, randomized clinical trial on the therapeutic treatment efficacy of the Mantram Repetition Program (MRP) by offering it as a stand-alone intervention, compared to an attention control condition of Present Centered Therapy (PCT) in a diverse sample of Veterans with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Primary outcomes included clinician-assessed and self-reported PTSD symptom severity. Secondary outcomes included insomnia, depression, anger, spiritual well-being, and mindfulness. Veterans were were recruited from a variety of clinics, including primary care, women's health, and specialty clinics in two geographical locations within the Department of Veterans Affairs healthcare system. ;
