Event Abstract Back to Event Treating Combat PTSD with Virtual Reality Exposure Therapy Sarah Miyahira1, 2*, R. A. Folen3, H. G. Hoffman4 and A. Garcia-Palacios5 1 Veterans Affairs Pacific Islands Health Care System, United States 2 Pacific Telehealth & Technology Hui, United States 3 Tripler Army Medical Center, United States 4 University of Washington, United States 5 Universitat Jaume I, Spain Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is one of the most debilitating disorders experienced by soldiers returning from combat. Few empirically validated PTSD treatments are currently available, particularly for combat-related trauma. Virtual reality exposure (VRE) treatment shows promise in treating combat-related PTSD. This ongoing study is a randomized clinical trial to assess the efficacy of a novel VRE intervention for treating warfighters with PTSD. Outcome variables include PTSD severity, psychological and physiologic factors. Conference: Annual CyberTherapy and CyberPsychology 2009 conference, Villa Caramora, Italy, 21 Jun - 23 Jun, 2009.
