Pioneering Research for Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder Presented at Military Health Research Forum
Colleagues,
New research on post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is being presented this week at the Military Health Research Forum (MHRF), a scientific conference hosted by the Department of Defense (DOD) Congressionally Directed Medical Research Programs (CDMRP). Depending on the conflict in which they served, 10 to 30% of soldiers who have spent time in war zones experience the debilitating and life-altering symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)...
Topics examined include employing virtual environments and novel medicines to help military personnel diagnosed with PTSD and/or other co-morbidities, and the use of psychiatric service dogs to help troops manage the symptoms of PTSD.
Topics include:
Virtual Environments for Cognitive and Affective Dysfunction in Mild Traumatic Brain Injury and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder: Development of a 21st Century Treatment Platform
Principal Investigator: Charles Levy, M.D., North Florida Foundation for Research and Education, Inc.
Pharmacologic Management of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder and Co-Morbid Alcohol
Dependence in Veterans
Principal Investigator: Ismene Petrakis, M.D., Yale University
Prazosin Reduces Trauma Nightmares and Severe Sleep Disturbance in Soldiers Deployed in Iraq
Principal Investigators: Murray Raskind, M.D., Seattle Institute for Biomedical and Clinical Research, and
Major Jess Calohan, A.R.N.P., Madigan Army Medical Center, Fort Lewis, WA
The Use of Psychiatric Service Dogs with Soldiers Who Have PTSD
Principal Investigators: Craig Love, Ph.D., Westat, Inc., and Joan Esnayra, Psychiatric Service Dog
