Study Summary

The purpose of this study was to assess the effects of the medication paroxetine on symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and the brain in women with a history of PTSD related to childhood abuse. The hypothesis is that paroxetine will result in an improvement in PTSD symptoms accompanied by changes in brain functional response to reminders of childhood trauma.

Primary Outcome

The CAPS is a 30-item questionnaire of PTSD symptomatology that provides continuous measures of symptom severity and frequency. CAPS-IV total symptom severity score is calculated by summing severity scores for the 17 DSM-IV PTSD symptoms. Each symptom is rated for severity based on frequency and intensity on a scale of 0-4 for a total possible severity score per symptom of 8. Criterion E (items 18-19) is duration of symptoms (minimum of one month to make the diagnosis). Items 20-30 are optional.
