UCHC Seeks Veterans for PTSD Treatment Study July 12, 2010 - The Hartford Courant
FARMINGTON, CT - University of Connecticut researchers have launched a study to determine whether a new method of treating post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) could help veterans of the Afghanistan and Iraq wars.
The U.S. Justice Department has given the UConn Health Center a $750,000 grant for the two–year study, which will compare the effectiveness of the new treatment and one currently being used. Researchers are seeking 90 male veterans of the wars to participate in the PTSD treatment study. They will receive free therapy and be placed randomly in either treatment.
