Summary

SENSE-PTSD is an randomized controlled trial (RCT) which will evaluate the feasibility and efficacy of a novel, sensory-based psychoeducational program for improving psychological, functional, sensory, and cognitive outcomes in Canadian military veterans with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

Conditions

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Sensory Strategies Training

In SST, participants will be introduced to the concept of sensory processing in the context of PTSD and will learn about the ways in which difficulties in this area can impact their affective, cognitive, and functional outcomes. Participants will learn about the effects of PTSD symptoms on their ability to regulate stressful situations and engage in social interactions, as well as the benefits of physical activity and proper sleep hygiene. Participants will also identify functional goals (e.g., reduce sensation-avoiding, better regulate physical and emotional reactions to trauma reminders, increase sensory sensitivity, etc.) which they will aim to achieve with the knowledge and resources gained from SST. Throughout the program, participants will learn various strategies to help with movement, sleep, and interacting with others, and will have opportunities to practice the strategies identified as being relevant to their specific needs during their baseline sensory assessment.
