Brief Summary: The purpose of this study is 1 to evaluate whether massing 10 PE sessions in 2 weeks massed trials M-PE is more efficacious than Minimal Contact control MCC 2 whether the massed sessions format retains the efficacy of treatment compared to 10 PE sessions spaced over 8 weeks spaced trials S-PE and 3 to evaluate for the first time the efficacy of the 10 PE sessions delivered in 8 weeks in an active duty population by comparing it to an active comparison condition Present-Centered Therapy PCT
Detailed Description: The purpose of this study is to improve the efficiency of treatment for post-traumatic stress disorder PTSD with prolonged exposure PE an efficacious treatment for PTSD typically administered in once- or twice-weekly sessions We will evaluate whether massing 10 PE sessions in 2 weeks massed trials M-PE is more efficacious than Minimal Contact control MCC 2 whether the massed sessions format retains the efficacy of treatment compared to 10 PE sessions spaced over 8 weeks spaced trials S-PE and 3 will evaluate for the first time the efficacy of the 10 PE sessions delivered in 8 weeks in an active duty population by comparing it to an active comparison condition Present-Centered Therapy PCT Randomization was initially set at 3111111 for MCCM-PES-PEPCT Due to the urgent need for data to inform military clinical practice enrollment in MCC was accelerated by changing the ratio to 1111 in order to report the comparison between M-PE and MCC When 30 participants were enrolled in MCC randomization resumed to approximately 3111111 Prolonged Exposure PE Foa Hembree Rothbaum 2007 Foa Rothbaum 1998 was developed by the PI Edna Foa and colleagues in the Center for the Treatment Study of Anxiety CTSA University of Pennsylvania It has been found quite efficacious in reducing PTSD and related psychopathology with various types of trauma in PTSD centers around the world Furthermore PE has been identified in the joint VA-Department of Defense Clinical Practice Guideline for PTSD VA-DoD Clinical Practice Guideline Working Group 2003 as strongly recommended for use with veterans with PTSD based on the strong empirical support for PE
