Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for PTSD in Veterans With Co-Occurring SUDs
NCT01357577 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
With this research, the investigators hope to learn if cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) works in people who have both PTSD and problems with drugs or alcohol. In the past, people who had problems with drugs and alcohol were not given treatment for their PTSD. It was believed that PTSD treatment would get in the way of their drug and alcohol treatment. Now the investigators believe that the PTSD symptoms may make it harder to avoid using drugs and alcohol, so the investigators want to see if people can get treatment for both problems at the same time. One hundred-sixty Veterans from 3 sites who have both PTSD and substance use disorders will be in the study. In order to know if the PTSD treatment is helpful, half of the Veterans in this study will receive PTSD treatment and half will continue to get their usual mental health and/or substance abuse treatment. Who gets which treatment will be decided by a random process. The investigators will then compare the 2 groups to see if there are differences in their PTSD symptoms.

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT01357577
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT01357577 describes a study currently listed as completed. It is categorized as NA, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 129 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is VA Office of Research and Development, which has 1,863 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 2 conditions, with PTSD appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 1 intervention — of which Cognitive behavioral therapy for PTSD is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.
Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT01357577 reports 3 study locations spanning 3 distinct geographic areas — top geographies include Florida, New York, Vermont. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll.
