NCT01806701 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 68

Last updated 2016-10-13

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

This study will examine how brain activation changes as a result of behavioral treatment for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in adolescents. The investigators will conduct functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) scans before and after the widely-used trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy to better understand how the brain recovers from illness. This study will provide much needed information about brain abnormalities in abused youth, and could lead to improvements in behavioral treatments for patients who do not respond to current treatments.
