New England Journal of Medicine today published the results of a clinical trial sponsored by the U.S. Agency for International Development Victims of Torture Fund and the World Bank.
In the study carried out in the Democratic Republic of Congo, researchers assigned 16 villages to provide cognitive processing therapy (1
individual session and 11 group sessions) or individual support to
female sexual-violence survivors with high levels of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms and
combined depression and anxiety symptoms.
"Assessments of combined depression and anxiety symptoms (average score
on the Hopkins Symptom Checklist [range, 0 to 3, with higher scores
indicating worse symptoms]), PTSD symptoms (average score on the PTSD
Checklist [range, 0 to 3, with higher scores indicating worse
symptoms]), and functional impairment (average score across 20 tasks
[range, 0 to 4, with higher scores indicating greater impairment]) were
performed at baseline, at the end of treatment, and 6 months after
treatment ended," the report stated.
They reported that participants in the therapy group recorded significant improvements and concluded that group psychotherapy reduced PTSD symptoms and combined depression and anxiety symptoms and improved functioning.
