Trauma & PTSD research, explained
2 open-access trauma & ptsd studies, each with a flashcard deck and a quiz.
- Does matching the distraction type help reduce trauma memories?
Distracting tasks decreased the emotional distress of trauma memories, but matching the distraction type to the memory's sensory modality did not provide any extra benefit.
- Does exercise improve intensive therapy for PTSD?
Adding physical activity to intensive trauma therapy does not make it more effective, as patients in both exercise and creative activity groups improved significantly.
