Finally, the evidence grade of the results will be evaluated.Results:This study will provide a reliable evidence for the selection of CAM therapies for PTSD.Conclusion:The results of this study will provide references for evaluating the influence of different CAM therapies for PTSD, and provide decision-making references for clinical research.
