Study Summary
Post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a condition that develops as a result of exposure to a traumatic event. The purpose of this study is to determine whether a breathing meditation technique (Sudarshan Kriya Yoga; SKY) provides a treatment benefit that is as effective as the standard intervention. Patients' PTSD symptoms will be monitored before treatment, at the end of treatment, one month after treatment and 12 months after treatment.
Primary Outcome
Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Checklist-Civilian Version (PCL-C) (Blanchard et al., 1996) is a 17-item self- report scale that assesses PTSD symptom severity in the past month corresponding to DSM-IV criteria for PTSD. Scores range from 17-85 with higher scores reflecting greater severity. We used the civilian version to assess symptoms from both military and non-military trauma.
Interventions
- BEHAVIORAL SKY meditation
- BEHAVIORAL CPT-C
