Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is one of the most disabling psychological conditions affecting the current War on Terrorism combat veteran population. Research has identified Virtual Reality Exposure Graded Exposure Therapy (VRGET) as a new medium of exposure therapy for treating combat veterans diagnosed with PTSD. Four participants have recently completed VRGET at NHCP. Our poster will review not only the treatment protocol for the ONR funded study to treat combat-related PTSD with VRGET, but our poster will also review the treatment outcome results for the four participants treated in the NHCP cohort.
