Predicting Treatment Outcomes With Intensive Outpatient Treatment for PTSD

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

The open-label clinical study explores potential modifiable predictors of treatment outcomes in a sample of 55 military service members and veterans with clinically significant PTSD symptoms who receive Intensive Outpatient Prolonged Exposure (IOP-PE).

Clinical Trial Description

Intensive Outpatient Prolonged Exposure (IOP-PE) is a three-week, intensive, individualized program that combines massed Prolonged Exposure with military-relevant treatment augmentations to treat posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD; Peterson et al., 2018). Recent findings indicate that IOP-PE significantly decreased combat-related PTSD in post-9/11 service members and veterans (Peterson et al., 2019). However, IOP-PE is costly and requires a considerable commitment from the patient. Being able to prospectively identify which patients benefit most from IOP-PE will help treatment providers and patients make well-informed decisions about clinical care. The primary aim of this prospective, exploratory clinical study is to investigate potential predictors of treatment outcome following 15 sessions of IOP-PE delivered over 3-weeks in a sample of 55 military service members and veterans (i.e., individuals who have retired or separated from the US Armed forces, active duty personnel, reservists, and National Guardsmen/women) with significant PTSD symptoms. A follow-up assessment will be conducted one-month following the completion of treatment. Predictor variables will include the following: Aim 1: The PTSD Beliefs Inventory, the Dispositional Resilience and Disability Inventory, and the Credibility/ Expectancy Questionnaire. Aim 2: The Disability-Recovery Implicit Association Test. Aim 3: The Treatment Motivation Questionnaire and Service Connection Status Aim 4: The Insomnia Severity Index, the Dimension of Anger Reactions-5, Patient Health Questionnaire-9, the Quick Drinking Screen, and the Pain Intensity, Enjoyment, and General Activity (PEG) Scale. ;

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.
