It is often chronic and may be associated with significant comorbidities and functional impairments. Current first-line PTSD therapies include trauma-focused cognitive behavioral psychotherapies, stress inoculation training, and pharmacotherapies. Complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) interventions include a range of therapies that are not considered standard to the practice of medicine in the U.S. CAM therapies are widely used by mental health consumers, including Veterans, and numerous stakeholders have expressed strong interest in fostering the evidence base for these approaches in PTSD. Thus, this evidence synthesis was requested by VA Research and Development to inform decisions on the need for research in this area.Evidence-based synthesis program (Series)Post-traumatic stress disorderOutcome assessment (Medical care)United StatesfastPost-traumatic stress disorder.Outcome assessment (Medical care)616.8521Strauss Jennifer L.1353790United States.Department of Veterans Affairs.Health Services Research and Development Service,Durham VA Medical Center.Evidence-based Synthesis Program Center.Evidence-based Synthesis Program (U.S.)NjHacINjHaclBOOK9910717345403321Efficacy of complementary and alternative medicine therapies for posttraumatic stress disorder3275650UNINA
