The role of dosage and intensity in trauma-focused treatments for posttraumatic stress disorder: A meta-analysis.
What's New
A large meta-analysis found that more intensive PTSD treatments were associated with higher completion rates, and personalizing the number of therapy sessions was linked to stronger outcomes.
Detailed Summary
Researchers analyzed 73 randomized controlled trials involving 5,696 adults diagnosed with PTSD. They examined whether the dosage and intensity of trauma-focused therapy influenced symptom improvement and treatment completion. Treatments showed medium to large effects on PTSD and depression symptoms overall, with an average completion rate of about 72%.
