Study protocol of a randomized controlled superiority trial of Huddinge Online Prolonged Exposure therapy (HOPE) for adults with posttraumatic stress disorder
Overview
This study protocol outlines a randomized controlled superiority trial evaluating the effectiveness of HOPE, a digital therapist-guided prolonged exposure program for adults with PTSD. The research compares ten weeks of this intervention against an active control condition involving psychoeducation and relaxation, targeting 286 participants in a clinical setting. It measures primary outcomes such as PTSD symptom severity using clinician-administered scales, alongside secondary metrics like depression, quality of life, and cost-effectiveness.
