Brief Summary:
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder PTSD is an anxiety disorder that can develop after exposure to a terrifying event or ordeal in which there was the potential for or actual occurrence of grave physical harm Traumatic events that may trigger PTSD include violent personal assaults natural or human-caused disasters accidents and military combat People with PTSD have persistent frightening thoughts and memories of their ordeal may experience sleep problems feel detached or numb or be easily startled Its lifetime prevalence is quite high with 7-8 in various studies and 4 in french studies
The current PTSD treatment usually involves antidepressants as serotonin-specific reuptake inhibitors SSRIs and Cognitive Behavioral Therapies such as exposure therapy to trauma-linked elements memories feelings and thoughts so the fear associated to the traumatic event can decrease But the therapeutic response stays partial even combining these treatments
To improve the PTSD treatment efficiency innovative approaches are being explored like new drugs or cerebral stimulation This project aims to assess the efficacy of a less known but promising therapeutic strategy for PTSD the use of transcranial Direct-Current Stimulation tDCS to enhance the trauma-focused therapy results
