ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying how a special program can help veterans who have been diagnosed with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). The program combines various therapeutic techniques, including stress management and skills training, and takes place in a racecar simulation environment. The goal is to help veterans improve their self-control and skills, which we hope will help them in real-life situations.

To participate in this trial, you need to be a veteran of the US Military with a clinical diagnosis of PTSD. You also need to have completed a specific self-regulatory course involving the race-simulator. The trial is looking for veterans aged 65 to 74 years. Participants will engage in tailored activities designed to address their individual needs and will help researchers gather important information about the effectiveness of this program for veterans. It's an exciting opportunity to contribute to a study aimed at improving the lives of those who have served our country.
